Arsenal have hit a roadblock with regards to the Premier League top-four race as back-to-back losses at the hands of Crystal Palace and Brighton has seen them cede the advantage to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
But all is not lost. With eight games remaining of the current campaign, should the Gunners win them all and Spurs drop points in at least one other game then Champions League football will be back on the menu at the Emirates Stadium for the first time in over five years next season.
Although there could be question marks regarding Mikel Arteta's future should Arsenal miss out on a top-four finish and the Spaniard has some big decisions to make regarding three first-team players - including Alexandre Lacazette - who are out of contract at the end of June.
