Arsenal slipped five points behind the Champions League places after their 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, and with 13 matchdays remaining their European future seems far from certain.

Chelsea currently occupy that coveted fourth slot, with surprise package Aston Villa sitting third with 51 points so far.

Martin O'Neill's side, if they were not before, are now genuine contenders for a European place, but Arsenal fans will not give up so easily.
