Arsenal's hopes of getting back into the Champions League have taken a significant blow of late, with defeats to Crystal Palace and Brighton meaning that Mikel Arteta's side face a major battle to finish in the top four.
After a woeful start that saw them lose their first three games of the campaign, Arsenal have been widely praised this season, with Arteta's young squad performing impressively at times. Now, though, they have lost three of their last four games at a crucial stage of the season.
Although a top four finish is still possible, there is now very little margin for error.
