Former Liverpool and Leicester City striker Emile Heskey has tipped Arsenal to finish above Chelsea this season.
Both clubs are in the hunt for a top four position, while neither is considered strong enough to mount a title challenge.
While they may both end up in the top four, Heskey rates Arsenal as having a higher chance of finishing in a Champions League spot.
"Arsenal have quietly gone about their business this season and should definitely be confident of a top four finish," Liverpool legend Heskey told bwin.
"They're picking up results and have some excellent young players coming through the ranks.
"Aubameyang's really sunk his feet in to the league and looks like he could score every game. He's a defender's nightmare, because he only needs one chance.
"It plays on a defenders 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."
