Arsenal have five games between now and possible qualification for the Champions League for the first time since 2016. It would represent a leap forward in the club’s plans to elevate itself back to their desired level.
On the path to that goal, Arsenal face some challenging tests. London derbies against West Ham and Tottenham will be pivotal in what decides the fourth spot in the table. However, sandwiched between these two colossal ties is a home match with relegation battling Leeds United.
Jesse Marsch has an advantage over his rivals Burnley and Everton at present. However, the gap to the drop remains just five points having played a game more than 18th-placed Everton.
