Arsenal's final six Premier League fixtures simulated as Champions League battle is decided

As expected, there was another twist in this season's Premier League top-four race with Arsenal winning away from home at Chelsea on Wednesday night to move level on points with Tottenham Hotspur.

After losing three on the spin against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton, the Gunners ceded control to their north London rivals in the battle for Champions League football. Furthermore, with Antonio Conte's side developing a ruthless streak in attack in recent weeks, they have a superior goal difference.

But thanks to securing a 'massive result' against Chelsea, Arsenal are slight favourites to finish fourth, according to Jamie Redknapp: "There is no underestimating how big this result is and gaining that momentum," he said on Sky Sports. "They have some really tough games coming up with Manchester United at the weekend, and Tottenham Hotspur also, but it gets them right back up there, and they could be the slight favourites now in the race for the top four."

However, not everyone agrees with Redknapp's prediction as the final Premier League table has been simulated by Football Web Pages and the outcome has the Gunners missing out on a top-four finish by three points - below Spurs to complete the nightmare scenario.

Upon closer look at the final predicted Premier League table, it has Arsenal failing to win any of their remaining three away games of the season with defeats against West Ham United next Sunday as well as the North London Derby against Tottenham 11 days later and then sharing the points with Newcastle United on the penultimate weekend of the campaign.

The good news is that Mikel Arteta's side have been tipped to win their remaining home games, starting with Saturday's visit of Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium and then against Leeds United and Everton next month. But it won't be enough to secure a return to Europe's top table.

Of course, in reality, plenty of twists and turns are expected before the season concludes. Although, if this predicted table is a template with regards to 70 points being the magic number to win the top-four race, then the Gunners' route back into the Champions League becomes even clearer.

Currently, on 57 points following the win over Chelsea, Arsenal would another 13 more in order to reach 70 and that, in a dream scenario, works out to be four victories and a draw from their final six fixtures. Alternatively, five wins gets the job done and allows for a single defeat.
