At the moment the full focus of Arsene Wenger, the players and anyone connected with Arsenal Football Club is on the fight to finish in the top four of the Premier League. Getting another crack at the Champions League next season is not the only goal for the Gunners to aim at, though.
Once all the EPL games are over the focus will switch to the FA cup final at Wembley where Arsenal will fact the league champions Chelsea, and I feel that the goals could be intrinsically linked, with an unlikely top four spot likely to give us a great boost and help us get to Wembley full of form and confidence.
After defeat in the north London derby Arsenal have bounced back well with three big wins over Man United, Stoke and Southampton, but we are still left needing either Man City or Liverpool to slip up. If they do I reckon we will be there to take advantage and if that happened I would give us a great chance of lifting the FA cup.
If we fail to win both of the remaining games I think it will be Chelsea’s trophy. If we win both games but it is not enough to finish in the top four, the form will be there but the team may find it hard to get over the disappointment and the final will probably be tough for us, so do Arsenal need to seal another UCL place in order to win the FA cup?
