Arsenal can mount a stunning challenge for the top four this season according to their former player Paul Merson.
His comments come after the Gunners' brilliant display during their 3-1 victory in the north London derby over Tottenham at the weekend.
Merson also expressed his fears over Nuno Espirito Santo's future at Tottenham - just under three months after he was appointed manager of the club.
In his Sky Sports column, Merson said Arsenal have a chance of making next season's Champions League, thanks in part to their lack of involvement in Europe this campaign.
