Returning Ramsey and Ozil can help Arsenal finish fourth, says Wenger

Arsene Wenger is hopeful his side can hold onto fourth position in the Premier League after they beat Hull City 3-0.

Lukas Podolski hit his second brace in two matches after Aaron Ramsey struck the opening goal of the game, leaving them one point ahead of Everton, who beat Manchester United 2-0 at Goodison Park.

And the Gunners boss knows his side must keep up their good form to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

“It was a very important win for us,” said Wenger.

“We got a lucky result in midweek from Everton [who lost 3-2 to Crystal Palace] after we had a good game against West Ham.

“Mathematically it’s just about how well we play until the end of the season now.”

And he is adamant the returning Aaron Ramsey can play a big role in their climax to the season.

“He’s in good form,” said the Frenchman. “I rested him against West Ham and today you could see he is back.

“We have missed Aaron Ramsey because he was out for three months and Mesut Ozil had his first 60 minutes for six weeks so that gives us more offensive potential.”
