Arsenal must win to have any chance of the top four
Even then, they need Liverpool and Man City to slip up
Gunners have not missed Champions League for 20 years
Barkley on the bench for Everton
Hector Bellerin
What were we saying about Hector Bellerin?!
He gives Arsenal the lead they deserve, but only after Danny Welbeck makes a late bid for miss of the season. Ball across goal from the left, Welbeck only has to tap into an empty net, but completely misses his kick. Bellerin, though, is there to sweep up and save blushes.
Arsenal keeping their end of the bargain.

Arsenal seem to have made Everton left-back Leighton Baines a target early on - everything coming down his side and the Gunners getting lots of joy.
Vincent Kompany
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
You'll never see a simpler goal in the rest of, er, this season.
Kevin de Bruyne swings in a corner, Vincent Kompany has the freedom of the Watford penalty area, and the Manchester City skipper heads powerfully in.
City have one hand on third place.

Stand by for news from Vicarage Road...
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
All Arsenal in the early going, Everton chasing shadows in the sun. Hector Bellerin is being a complete pest down the right.

Joshua King: Is Wenger being coy? If they miss Champions League they could focus on Premier League. Look at Conte at Chelsea - outsiders.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Huge Gunners chance. Hector Bellerin surges into the Everton box and squares from the right. Danny Welbeck, inside the six-yard box, somehow puts it wide.

Arsenal, in their usual red, are attacking the goal to the right as we look on. Everton, quite rightly, are in all blue...
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Under way...
Ross Barkley looks thoroughly hacked off. It's warm, but not warm enough for Arsene Wenger to shed his jumper. Almost go time...
Here they come, Arsenal's players wearing some rather snazzy blue tracksuit tops. A huge banner is passed over the crowd - there's just about enough of them to mean it keeps moving.

I think Wenger is right that they have to concentrate on their game and forget what is happening at Liverpool. He's also right not to mention a word about his contract until after the FA Cup.
There is, however, a large man with his shirt off. Going topless is rarely acceptable, but doing it at a football match should be grounds for a 10-year stadium ban. The Everton players are in the tunnel...
It's sunny in north London, but that doesn't mean that the crowds have come out just yet. Either that or they've come dressed as red plastic seats...

I don’t expect to see Arsene Wenger there next season. I think he is giving himself a get out by not committing yet.
If they lose the final and don’t get in the top four, he is going to start next season on the back foot in terms of supporters - it’s not healthy for anyone.
The recruitment for Arsenal and the players they’ve bought over the past few years hasn’t been good enough. It’s time for a change. They’re not going to win the league unless they mix it up.
So, what do you reckon? Arsenal to sneak into the top four, or too little, too late?
Is Ross Barkley on his way out of Goodison Park?
And, more importantly, what have you been doing for the past 20 years? Arsenal have been playing Champions League football, but how have you filled two decades?

Former Liverpool defender on Football Focus
It appears Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is going to stay on for another year or two and, if that is the case, I am not sure why they have kept it such a big secret.
Arsenal have got next week's FA Cup final to think about but I don't think that will affect the result, because they can still finish in the top four and they have to go for the win in case Manchester City or Liverpool slip up.
Everton will finish seventh whatever happens and they will make a game of it, but the Gunners are on a good run and I think they will come out on top.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
John Motson
Match of the Day commentator
Arsenal have not allowed Manchester City or Liverpool to shake them off in the pursuit of a top-four finish but they know that even a seventh win in eight games might not be enough this time.
The Gunners may yet earn an additional shot at qualifying for the Champions League for a 21st consecutive season by forcing a play-off. For that to happen, they need to finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored with either City or Liverpool.
A sub-plot to the game is the personal battle for the Premier League's Golden Boot between Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, who have 24 and 23 goals respectively.
Both have now been usurped by Tottenham's Harry Kane but the Belgian, external or the Chilean, external would strengthen their summer bargaining position if they can overhaul him.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman insists Ross Barkley's exclusion is tactical - but is he also signposting the future without a player who is currently refusing to sign a new contract?
Koeman has made it clear he wants an answer from the 23-year-old in the next couple of days or Barkley will be sold, so this looks like a significant call.
Arsenal make three changes to the team that beat Sunderland, most notably with Danny Welbeck replacing Olivier Giroud up top. The three-man defence remains - better late than never.
