Arsenal will hope to secure Champions League football on Thursday night at the expense of rivals Tottenham when the two teams meet in the latest edition of the north London derby.
The Gunners will start Thursday's clash one place and four points better off than their opponents, and a defeat for Spurs would likely end all hope of qualifying for the top four.
Spurs hope home comforts do the trick
Arsenal looked to have had their top-four spot sewn up a few months ago, but a run of four defeats in five matches handed Spurs a chance to close the gap.
Under the stewardship of Antonio Conte, they did just that, and they are now just four points behind their neighbours. Both teams have three games remaining this season, but a win for Arsenal would all but end Spurs' top-four hopes.
The Gunners, 12/5 to win on Thursday evening, have been in good form though of late, winning four matches on the spin.
Arsenal have despatched of Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham United and Leeds, while Spurs have only picked up one in four.
However, Tottenham are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches against Arsenal, which is their longest such run since the 1960s.
Conte's side are 11/10 to collect all three points, or they are 3/10 in the double chance market.
No surrender in the capital
Arsenal and Tottenham fans have enjoyed mocking each other throughout the years, and if there's a loser on Thursday, that will continue as both teams try to ruin each other's European dreams.
Arsenal can rule supreme with a win, while a victory for Spurs will at least make Arsenal sweat a little longer.
Both teams have been in good goalscoring form of late, with Spurs netting 16 in five at home, while Arsenal have scored seven in five on their travels.
Games between the two sides are often entertaining affairs, with both teams finding the back of the net in six of the last eight meetings.
Both teams to score is priced at 7/10 this time around, while over 2.5 goals is available at 4/5, which has landed in five of the last eight battles.
