Despite a false start post-coronavirus, the Mikel Arteta-tutored club has worked its way into the Europa League after bagging three wins on the bounce.

The side currently sit seventh on the league standings with 49 points, eight points off the top four.

Qualification for the Champions League could go down to the fifth-placed team as Man City are in danger of missing out on the tournament next season should their ban by UEFA is upheld.

However, Arteta has made it clear to his wards the effort required if they are to qualify for a place in Europe’s elite competition.

“We have to win every game and then wait and pray,” Mirror UK quoted Arteta saying.

“A few weeks ago we were really far from thinking about Europe and we are a little bit closer at the moment so lets go game by game and see where that takes us,” he added.

Arsenal have not made an appearance in the Champions League for the last three years and a qualification this term will be a massive boost for Arteta.
