An official announcement with regard to Arsenal's return to the Champions League after a six-season absence could be imminent, especially if a simulated final 2022/23 Premier League table becomes a reality.
Not since the 2016/17 campaign which ended in a humiliating defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich, have the Gunners competed in European football's elite club competition. Although, as things stand they have two realistic opportunities to end the exile with one being to win the Europa League as the reward is not only a trophy but entry to next season's group phase too.
The other, of course, is by sealing a top-four finish in the Premier League. Considering Arsenal are embroiled in a title race with Manchester City, it would require an almighty dip in form over the remaining 12 fixtures for Mikel Arteta's side to not achieve this target.
