Arsenal can push on and challenge for the top four in the Premier League this season.

According to pundit Paul Merson, who played for the Gunners during his heyday.

Merson was speaking after the team's outstanding 3-1 North London derby win over Tottenham on Sunday in the Premier League.

He said in a column for Sky Sports: "If Arsenal keep those players fit and they play every week, they would have a chance of getting in the top four and cause problems. They have no Europe this season, so will have time to recover and work on the team.

"But this is Arsenal though and has been since they last won the league in 2004, since when they have never really looked like winning the league.

"The game on Sunday was their bread and butter, but if they win away at Brighton on Saturday, then I will sit up. But if we talk next week and they have lost at the Amex, I would not be shocked. And that is the problem, they need to get a run of games together."
