Arsenal 's first-team squad will still be looking at qualifying for the Champions League, believes former left-back Ashley Cole. The Gunners went into today's clash with Wolves sat nine points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. After back-to-back wins over Southampton and Norwich, with an FA Cup win over Sheffield United in between, Arsenal have restored confidence having previously suffered successive defeats to Manchester City and Brighton. Yet going into their clash with Wolves, Cole thinks Arsenal's players will still be full of belief that playing in the Champions League next season is a feasible goal. But the former England defender has warned that they need top goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to be at his absolute best in order to claw back their rivals and get a seat back at Europe's top table.
