Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Everton could prove to be decisive in the race for a top-four finish and the Champions League football that comes with it.
Phil Jagielka’s early goal condemned the Gunners to defeat, continuing a woeful record of not keeping a clean sheet away from home this season, and saw Unai Emery’s side miss the opportunity to rise to third in the standings.
As a result, the situation has been handed a hit to Arsenal’s odds of finishing in the top-four, OddsChecker shows, although the Emery’s side are still tipped as second-favourites behind Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal’s latest odds have the Gunners priced at 8/11, with the defeat leaving the odds drifting - while Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester United have seen their odds shortened.
Arsenal fans' theory about an Everton foul throw in build up to Phil Jagielka's goal is disputed
Tottenham are now priced at 1/4 to secure Champions League football next season, with Chelsea priced at 11/10 and United 5/2 - with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side seen as the outfit most likely to miss out on the prize.
