Arsenal have secured Champions League football for next season following Manchester United’s defeat to West Ham on Tuesday evening.
With just one Premier League fixture remaining for all of the top five, the Gunners are now guaranteed to finish no lower than fourth, meaning they will play in the Champions League for a 19th consecutive season.
Arsene Wenger’s side could still finish second behind champions Leicester City if Tottenham lose to Newcastle United and the Gunners beat Aston Villa at home.
United’s own Champions League hopes were dealt a major blow in the final game at Upton Park as the defeat now means they require Manchester City to lose to Swansea City, while Louis van Gaal’s men must beat Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
Arsenal are just one year behind record holders Real Madrid, who have participated in Europe's premier club competition for 20 years running - the most of any team.
