Where Arsenal can win or lose the Champions League race against Spurs, Chelsea and Man United

Arsenal look to be struggling in their quest to finish in the top four.

Having looked slight favourites to claim the remaining Champions League spot - and possibly finish third - after beating Watford 1-0 11 days ago, back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Wolves means destiny is no longer in their own hands.

With that said, the result of Manchester United vs Chelsea will have a huge bearing on the Gunners' final league position.

Of course they must take care of business on their side and the good news for Unaii Emery's side is that they won't come up against any of their rivals in the final three games of the campaign.

However, away form will be crucial and could well prove to be the difference as to whether or not the team are playing in the Champions League or Europa League come September.

The team do also have the chance of qualifying for Europe's elite competition by winning the Europa League final next month if they do indeed miss out on the top four.

Ahead of the next round of fixtures, we have taken a look at how the Gunners' run-in compares to their three rivals for a Champions League spot.
