There were absolute scenes at the Emirates on Tuesday night as Arsenal edged out Atletico Madrid to secure their place in the Champions League final. A date with holders PSG awaits in Budapest on May 30.
But before then there’s a little matter of winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years. The Gunners are in a golden position to do so after beating Fulham 3-0 last Saturday before watching Manchester City slip up in a dramatic 3-3 draw at Everton.
Three more wins and Arsenal will be champions, but it remains to be seen how many more points West Ham need to avoid relegation. The Hammers are in a perilous position after dropping into the bottom three following Tottenham’s back-to-back wins over Wolves and Aston Villa.
