Arsenal host Chelsea this evening at the Emirates Stadium in a match both sides desperately need to win.
A victory for the away side will see them head into third place and if Arsenal can gain three points it will keep their chance of finishing in the top four alive.
In fact, boss Unai Emery believes defeat to Chelsea on Saturday would end Arsenal’s hopes of a returning to that place in the Premier League this year.
After enjoying a 22-game unbeaten run towards the back end of 2018, Arsenal struggled over the festive period and lost at West Ham last weekend.
And Emery feels another defeat to Chelsea, following on from a 3-2 reverse at Stamford Bridge on the second weekend of the season, would spell the end of any hopes of a first top-four finish in three years.
Asked if a nine-point gap would be too big to overturn, the Arsenal head coach replied: “I think yes.
“We had a big challenge against West Ham. And the reason is because we spoke about playing under pressure, which we have to do if we are to be competitive, and take this opportunity. It is a big ambition of ours to do that.
“After our loss to West Ham it is a big difference to be six points behind Chelsea instead of three points behind.
“But the next match is against Chelsea and the opportunity we have is not the same, but if we win we have the opportunity to be closer to them.
“And we can then continue our way in the 38 matches in the Premier League. Every player has this ambition. To play Saturday with all we can against them.”
