Cheery Arsenal up for Everton game even though they face heartache on last day of season
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was in light training following a hamstring injury
ARSENAL go into their final game of the season against Everton with their top four hopes out of their hands.
But you'd never have guessed as the players trained cheerfully at London Colney on Saturday.
The Gunners must beat the Toffees and basically pin their trust in relegated Middlesbrough to deny Liverpool.
Or for Watford to beat Manchester City if Arsenal are to make the Champions League for a 21st consecutive year.
It's worth remembering that had Arsenal held on to a lead given them by Alexis Sanchez at Everton in December they would have overtaken champions-elect Chelsea at the top.
Food for thought...
Instead Ronald Koeman's men won 2-1 and sowed the seeds of doubt that have seemingly affected the Gunners ever since.
They never looked likely to stick around the top four and the pressure finally told a month or so ago when they began to resemble also-rans in the race to make Europe's top club competition.
Whatever happens at the Emirates on Sunday teatime Arsenal do have next Saturday's FA Cup final with Chelsea to look forward to.
Not to mention Arsene Wenger's announcement as to whether he stays in charge...
