Arsenal’s hopes for European football will be on the line when they host Premier League champions Liverpool on Wednesday night (20:15 kick off).
With Manchester City‘s ban from European football being overturned, Arsenal cannot now qualify for the Champions League and must now turn to the Europa League for their continental action next season. But as things stand, the Gunners are five points behind sixth-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers with three games remaining – the final Europa League spot.
Seventh would also be enough to secure Europa League football should Arsenal not win the FA Cup but the Gunners are also four points off Sheffield United after their north London Derby loss against Tottenham Hotspur.
But standing in their way, Liverpool are still in search of history having already wrapped up the title. With three games remaining, the Reds are eight points away from breaking Manchester City’s record for most points in a single Premier League campaign which currently stands at 100.
Only maximum points will do for Liverpool, however, who haven’t been in the best form since football returned.
