Arsenal increased their chances of qualifying for next year’s Champions League after thrashing Valencia 3-1 on Thursday.
Teams who finish at the top-four position are the only ones eligible to qualify for the Champions League.
However, if a Premier League team wins Champions League trophy or Europa League trophy, they will automatically qualify for the following year’s Champions League.
The Gunnars are one of the four teams in the Premier League that are currently battling for a top-four finish. Other teams are Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham.
With only two matches remaining for the Premier League to come to an end, any win is crucial and in football, that’s not always a guarantee.
Tottenham’s hope of sealing the slot was disgruntled on Tuesday when they were thrashed by Ajax 1-0 at home.
Chelsea also got a crush to their hope after drawing Eintracht 1-1.
Arsenal, however, boosted their chances following their victory over Valencia, making them the favourites to qualify for the Europa finals.
This means that if Arsenal wins Europa League and fail to finish at the top-four, they’ll still qualify for Next Years Champions League.
The Gunners are currently at the fifth position with 66 points, two points below Chelsea who are currently in the fourth position.
