Arsenal FC 1/4 for top four finish after draw with Norwich City

Arsenal were held to a 3-3 draw at the Emirates by a spirited Norwich City side and qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League is no longer in the Gunners own hands.

A 3-3 draw with Norwich City on Saturday has kept Arsenal in third place in the Premier League but the Gunners are now just two points ahead of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur with Chelsea a further four points back. The Blues are unlikely to catch the Gunners but Arsene Wenger will be watching nervously on Sunday as Newcastle play Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur take on Aston Villa.

Arsenal are still 1/4 at Sky Bet to finish in the top four but it was once again an example of Wenger's side disappointing in a match that they should have won. They were 1-0 up after just two minutes through Yossi Benayoun but first half goals from Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan gave Norwich a half-time lead.

Robin Van Persie, so often the Gunners' saviour, did his best to give his side the win they needed with two goals late in the second half to make it 3-2 but an 88th minute goal from Steve Morison leveled again for the Canaries who were fully deserving of their point.

It will now be a nervous fortnight for Arsenal supporters and on this form there is no guarantee that they will beat West Brom at the Hawthorns on the last day of the season next weekend.
