    If Arsenal draw, they can only make Europe through winning the FA Cup.

    That was a very good result for Aston Villa (the Watford match). It means all teams are on the same goal difference. Villa though can move outside the relegation zone with a win. Arsenal need to finish in the top 7 (if they don't win the FA Cup) and a win will take them 8th.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal XI: Martinez; Holding, David Luiz, Kolasinac; Soares, Ceballos, Torreira, Saka; Nkettiah, Lacazette, Aubammeyang.
  • PRVW
    Aston Villa XI: Reina; Elmohamady, Konsa, Mings, Targett; McGinn, Luiz, Hourihane; Trezeguet, Samatta, Grealish.
