Norwich have £2m incentive to help Arsenal qualify for Champions League - but there's a problem

Arsenal's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are hanging by the smallest of threads, but there's still a chance - albeit unlikely - that they will snatch fourth spot from under the noses of Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the 2021/22 Premier League season.

Following a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United on Monday night, the scenario is simple for Mikel Arteta 's side when they welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium this weekend; The Gunners must win and hope Spurs lose to an already relegated Norwich City side at Carrow Road.

This is because a draw is effectively all Antonio Conte's side need in Norfolk due to their superior goal difference which would come into effect if the north London rivals were to finish level on points. But in truth, this scenario is highly unlikely to happen as Arsenal would require a 16-goal swing in their favour against the Toffees.
