Steve Agnew suspects Arsenal’s players will be in touch with Middlesbrough loanee Calum Chambers in a bid to boost their Champions League hopes ahead of the Teessiders' game at Liverpool.
Fifth-placed Gunners - who entertain Everton - are one point behind the Reds and will need relegated Boro to do them a favour at Anfield, or Watford to beat Manchester City if they are to stand any chance of finishing in the top four.
Chambers will be playing his last game for Boro before returning to Arsenal and his boss believes he will have added motivation to get a result.
