Arsenal take on Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday and the Gunners now have to most certainly win this game in order to keep their top-four spot.

Both Man United and Chelsea have won their respective games while Spurs have lost to Liverpool which means if the Gunners win this game they will move into the third spot.

And speaking before this match, Arsenal boss Unai Emery talked about his team’s possibilities of playing in the Champions League next season.

“It’s, of course, our objective (the top four),” said Emery.




“We have to wait. We are working and being competitive. Now, each match, we have a big possibility, especially after beating Man United, but we know it’s going to be difficult because we are fighting against big teams.

“But we are working very well and we are confident.

“We have chances in each match and each match is our next objective.

“Our next one is Newcastle in front of our home supporters and we have to enjoy it and each match, while trying to find three points.”




Arsenal are also playing in the Europa League this season which means if they win this competition then they would get a direct entry into the Champions League.




But we are pretty sure that Emery would not want to hang their top European status hanging in balance on a single game’s result.
