Wednesday night more or less spelled the end of Arsenal's title hopes with a forgettable and deeply frustrating 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Barring an unprecedented twist of fates - the Gunners are now closer to 10th than first-placed Liverpool - the north London side are set to finish second fiddle for the third season in a row.
There are of course the regular caveats; a long-term injury to the scintillating Bukayo Saka; no fewer than five red cards over the season; both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus out for the rest of the season.
