Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Arsenal can finish in the top four.

The north London side finished in the top four in 20 straight seasons under Arsene Wenger but have completed the campaign in fifth, sixth and fifth in the last three years.

"Arsenal have quietly gone about their business this season and should definitely be confident of a top four finish," Heskey told bwin.

"They're picking up results and have some excellent young players coming through the ranks."

Heskey has pointed to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as one of the main reasons behind his confidence in Arsenal this year.

"Aubameyang's really sunk his feet in to the league and looks like he could score every game," Heskey said.

"He's a defender's nightmare, because he only needs one chance. It plays on a defender's mind a lot more when you know that one slip and the guy you're marking is going to punish you.

"He's hungry for goals and can make something out of nothing, he was an outstanding buy from the club."
