Gunners in danger of missing out on CL after Palace defeat

Arsenal are in danger of finishing outside the Champions League places for the first time in 21 seasons after a shock loss to relegation threatened Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday- the Gunners’ first ever loss to the Eagles under Arsene Wenger.

The defeat left the club in sixth, seven points behind fourth place Man City, albeit with a game in hand. Despite being 6th, Arsenal (54 points) are closer to 16th place Palace (34) than league leaders Chelsea (75), and that is a telling stat for how badly the season has unravelled for Wenger’s men.

In early December, Wenger’s men were briefly top of the table, having picked up 34 points from their opening 15 games. Since then, they’ve picked up only 20 points from their next 16. They’ve been on the losing side in their last four away games (3-1 to Chelsea, 3-1 to Liverpool, 3-1 to West Brom and now 3-0 to Palace)- the first time under Wenger that they’ve lost four successively on the road in the league.

The calls for Wenger to quit have grown louder
