The Gunners 16-game unbeaten run will be put to the test at Bournemouth on Sunday, with their manager unperturbed by top-four demands.
Unai Emery insists he is not under added pressure after Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham identified the financial pitfalls of missing out on Champions League qualification.
Venkatesham this week said the Gunners would lose out on "tens of millions of pounds" should they not finish in the top four and, while it would not impact the club "catastrophically" if they did not return to the top table of European football this season, sustained failure would hamper their business model.
