HOW IT STANDS…

Sorry to do this to you Arsenal fans! The only way the Gunners will now make the top four is if they beat Burnley on the final day, Tottenham lose to Everton with an eight goal swing.

The only way they can realistically make the Champions League now is with a Europa League win.

It is not a pretty picture on the Arsenal bench with Alexandre Lacazette, Sead Kolasinac and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looking pretty despondent.

It is their last home game of the season and the teams usually do a lap of honour… Could be a quiet one.
