​​​​​Five teams - Manchester United, West Ham, Arsenal, Wolves and Tottenham - are separated by seven points and vying for fourth place in the Premier League; Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta: "I think it's going to be a bit of a rollercoaster"

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is bracing himself for a "rollercoaster" ride as the race to finish in the fourth and final Champions League spot in the Premier League gathers pace.

​​​​​Five teams - Manchester United, West Ham, Arsenal, Wolves and Tottenham - are separated by seven points and vying for fourth place.

Arsenal last played in the 2016-17 Champions League and though Arteta conceded he missed the competition, he remains focused on the job at hand.

"I think it's going to be a bit of a rollercoaster," he told reporters ahead of Thursday's home league match against Wolves.

"There are moments when a team opens a gap and then (others) catch up. You see the fixtures we all have to play and they're extremely tricky.

"(The players) know what every game means for us. We know where we are. That race is going to be right until the end. There are a lot of clubs involved. You see different results than expected. Points at home will be crucial."

Arteta also responded to recent reports the club were looking to extend his contract, saying it has not yet been discussed. His current deal does not expire until the end of next season.
