All four teams will be desperate to finish in the top four but Arsenal hero Wright believes Tottenham will be affected the most if they miss out.
Spurs, Wright said when asked the question. With the new stadium and having not made the signings, being in the top four is a must.
They cant go into that new stadium without Champions League football.
If they dont have money for signings and no Champions League football can they attract players of the right sort?
Arsenal took a huge step in securing a top-four finish as they beat Newcastle at the Emirates on Monday thanks to goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette.
Speaking after the win, Lacazette said: It was a big game tonight, a tough game. The coach said we had to be patient and efficient in the box and we did that.
Its always like this against Newcastle. We are happy. I can feel the difference in the atmosphere from last season, now we can maybe go to the Champions League.
The fans helped us to get third place. We work every day to be in third place, now we must stay in this position.
