Another weak Premier League performance saw Arsenal lose their place in the top four. The Gunners will now be looking to maintain their push for the Europa League crown when they take on Valencia this Thursday night.
A bore 1-1 draw with Brighton ended Arsenal’s hopes of claiming a spot in the top four. The run-in for the Gunners has turned into a spectacular failure as Unai Emery’s men failed to capitalise on their rivals’ poor form.
Arsenal are still in the fight for a Champions League spot however, it does mean having to win the Europa League.
In their first leg semi-final clash with Valencia, the Gunners ran out 3-1 winners. It was a cool, calm and collected showing but questions still remain of whether the London side still have enough ammunition.
With Valencia claiming an away goal, this tie is far from over meaning, Arsenal’s season could still get a lot worse.
The Spanish side are still fighting for the top four in La Liga however, they will also hope to claim a Champions League spot by winning the Europa League – just like their London counterparts.
This is certainly not an easy game to call however, the recommendation is to back the hosts to win the match. Whether it will be enough to secure a place in the final is hard to say, nevertheless, expect a strong showing from the Spaniards.
