Arsenal needed their last match which was against Liverpool, but the match ended as draw, Arsenal are still maintaining their second position, but they should win the two matches they are having left if they want to end the season in second position which they have been ending the season in the past few years.
For now Arsenal are also involved in the struggle for positions where when previously they were quite comfortable for the runner-up position but now it looks like they have to try to be more selective and as much as possible get 6 points in the remaining 2 matches so that their position remains safe.
Currently their points gap only leaves 2 points from Newcastle and 3 points from City. Although mathematically they only need 1 more point to secure a position in the Champions League but still if they have to be eliminated from the runner up position it will indirectly show that they are starting to decline because even if they still fail in the race for the trophy but it cannot be denied that Arsenal is the owner of the runner up position in 3 seasons this time (including this season).
The competition for positions in the Champions League is now even more interesting because the points gap is tight enough to make the end of the season even more difficult to predict.
