Arsenal require a miraculous final day of this Premier League campaign if they’re to secure Champions League football next season. Sitting two points off of fourth, Mikel Arteta’s men need rivals Tottenham to lose to Norwich while they must beat Everton at the Emirates.
That sequence of results is highly unlikely and inevitably there’ll be some form of post-mortem in the wake of Arsenal ’s failure to see through their Champions League push. Scrutiny in this respect has already started, with a lack of goals being highlighted as one of the big causes of the Gunners’ end of season disappointment.
Not only have they scored the fewest number of goals for any side currently inside the top seven - something Arteta will want to improve next season - but they’ll also need to replace Alexandre Lacazette and possibly Eddie Nketiah with both players’ contracts expiring at the end of this campaign.
