Aston Villa ace Stiliyan Petrov remains hopeful Arsenal will falter to boost their chances of finishing in the top four.[LNB] Arsenal have moved six points clear of Villa in the race to finish fourth as a result of Villa's run of four successive defeats.[LNB]Villa suffered a heartbreaking last-gasp defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, but Petrov insists they will fight to the end to try and clinch the lucrative fourth spot in the Premier League.[LNB]"We played well and didn't deserve to lose," Petrov told the Birmingham Mail. "The top four is still alive for us. We are going to fight until the end. [LNB]"A lot of people expected us to bounce back after that 5-0 defeat but I don't think many expected a performance like that. [LNB]Unlucky"We were unlucky not to take something out of the game and we will keep going. [LNB]"We have worked so hard all season we're not just going to let it go easily. [LNB]"Arsenal have a hard schedule. About four games ago we were minutes away from going eight points clear. Now we are six points the other way. We lost a couple of games in a row, Arsenal can do the same. [LNB]"They still have Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea to play. [LNB]"We now have to win as many of our remaining games as possible and we will see what happens. It's up to us."[LNB]
