The games are running out. Seven remain for Arsenal this season and they may need to win them all in order to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in six years.
At the beginning of the month, the Gunners were leading the top-four race and in control of their own destiny. But three defeats on the spin against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton has allowed Tottenham Hotspur to storm ahead of the pack and their superior goal difference could prove to be a decisive factor.
With that said, Mikel Arteta's side are still, technically, in a very good position to end their Champions League absence. Despite trailing Spurs by three points, if they can win their game in hand and go on to remain perfect between now and the end of the season, then there will be cause for celebration.
