Arsenal will most likely miss out on a place in next season's Champions League - with their fate set to be decided when they visit Stoke on 13 May, according to a sports analysis group.
The Gunners - seven points off fourth place with eight games left - have not finished outside the top four during Arsene Wenger's 21-year reign.
But data company Gracenote Sports suggests that run will end next month, if the clubs in the top four continue to take points at the rate they have all season.
It says a Champions League qualification spot will slip out of reach when Arsenal travel to the Potteries on the penultimate weekend of the 38-game league campaign.
