"Yeah they have a chance of being fourth but Spurs will be in that argument, Man U will be in that argument, and West Ham I think can cause problems to anyone they play."
After a run of three defeats from four, Arsenal beat Southampton and West Ham in their last two outings ahead of Saturday's win at Leeds.
But Arteta insists he is still wanting more consistency for his side to realise their potential.
Arteta said: "The last two performances have been really good in terms of what we want to achieve in matches, the results we have got and the way we have dominated those games.
"But we need to be consistent in that over 10 months to achieve the goals that we want, which is to be the best and we are not there yet."
