Arsenal host Everton later today knowing even a big win against Frank Lampard’s side will not be enough to secure a return to the Champions League without relying on results elsewhere.
Such has been the disappointment of recent weeks, Mikel Arteta is reliant on a Norwich City side to have lost five of their last six games to get a result against in-form Tottenham.
Still, as unlikely as it might be, Arsenal have a job to do.
While the thought of losing out to Spurs is hugely disappointing and will take some time to get over, this is a young side to have exceeded expectations and a performance here would at least end the season on a relative high.
