Arsenal are looking more likely to challenge for a top four position this season. Now are currently behind a well rejuvenated Manchester United in 5th while the red devil's are in 4th with 46 points one ahead of the Arteta's team.

The Gunners have two games in hand but without win over the same it's not important. They won last night in a 2-1 scoreline against Wolverhampton in Premier league encounter.

While Manchester United as well are facing Watford in tomorrow's encounter in the same competition. As both Manchester United and Arsenal are competing for an European last position in top four of the table come end of April.

We take a look into consequences for Arsenal if they miss out on the competition. First, they will see a lot of high profile players snub them for other big clubs.

Secondly, the American Kroenke, can decide against giving a new contract to Arteta. Contrary to rumours of Arteta being prepared for a three-year deal. Which could be a huge one compared to his current £5m per year.

Third, Premier league funds which come with teams finishing within top four will definitely be a miss to the Gunners. As well as lucrative sponsorship deals with big companies which will want to partner with clubs in big competitions.

Lastly, some talented players could want to exit their boyhood club. Especially the likes of Saka who is now been linked with a move to Liverpool with his contract going to expire in less than 18 months from now.
