Arsenal have surrendered their place in the top four after a second consecutive Premier League defeat, but they are still massively in contention, and should listen to what Paul Merson had to say about how the Gunners handle pressure.
It's been a woeful five-day period for Arsenal as their brutal 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace was followed up by a 2-1 loss to Brighton at home on Saturday. Arsenal had a spot in the Premier League top four firmly in their grasp, but now arch-rivals Tottenham have jumped above them in the table.
Arsenal no longer hold any advantage over Spurs, and will have to now better their results between now and the end of the season to stand a chance at finishing fourth. But this may not be the worst position to be in, if Merson's prediction is anything to go by.
