Arsenal fans endured a nightmare past week as they witnessed their team give up pole position for the fourth and final Champions League spot after suffering two defeats in games they will have been expected to win. The Gunners were defeated 3-1 last Monday by Crystal Palace, before losing to Brighton 2-1 at the Emirates on Saturday.
The two losses now leave Arsenal three points behind Spurs in the table, but still with a game in hand. Realistically, Arsenal are still in a good position to take the fourth Champions League spot, with a number or huge games to come in the following weeks. But they will feel majorly disappointed after their back-to-back losses.
If they're able to secure qualification, they'll look to keep that place for years to come with an important transfer window ahead of them this summer. Mikel Arteta has built a solid core at the club, with a number of young players for Arsenal to be excited about.
