Gilberto: We have to keep pushing on

Gilberto Silva is urging his team to not lose momentum and keep pushing on to seal fourth spot in the league, in order to secure Champions League football next season.

Arsenal are virtually guaranteed fourth spot, but any slip-ups from them will let the likes of Bolton back into the chase with the season coming to a close.

The Gunners take on North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur this weekend at White Hart Lane and are aiming to take maximum points against the old enemy.

Gilberto said: "I played there [White Hart Land] when we won the League in 2004. "Although many of the players have now left, the traditions of the match are still the same.

"We will need to keep our minds strong because this is the kind of game where you do not have time to relax for one minute.

"We know that in the matches against Tottenham, if we do not play at 100 per cent then it will be difficult.

"It is important to keep our concentration high over all of the final four games.

"Against Man City, it looked a bit strange; after our first goal we relaxed a little bit. Sometimes we can play very nice football and draw or lose. Against City, we did not play our best, but got three points."
