Unai Emery believes Arsenal are currently too inconsistent to finish in the Premier League top four.
The Gunners have finished outside the Champions League places for the past two years and sit six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea following a 1-0 defeat at West Ham on Saturday.
Declan Rice scored the only goal of a forgettable game at the London Stadium, meaning Emery's side are without an away league win since November.
