They have played well in the Europa though, compared to their league performances.Like they'll come away from Atletico with a win, let alone a goal.

Burnley are going to finish above Arsenal.
Fat Rafa working magic
Welbeck is utter shite.
Good win for Newcastle.
Oh Arsenal
Well done by Newcastle.
Well done by Newcastle.
11th league defeat of the season for Arsenal.
I get that, but it's just a recipe for disaster. Unless they are actually going to try and enhance the team (ie: sack Wenger after winning the cup, spend money), nothing will change.
To be fair, we also lost at Newcastle
Benitez doing a great job with Newcastle. In the top half now.
Doesn't really matter to Arsenal. The league was over for them weeks ago. They will be up for it against Atletico though
The only team not to have won a single away point in 2018. fecking embarassing. If they didn't win the Europa League all their contracts should be terminated immediately.
Well, it's official. Arsenal can no longer finish second.
Not sure how Arsenal had like 6 home games in a row but this result was always going to happen, their away form is relegation like
0 away points in 2018.
Doesn't matter if we win the Europa, that's enough to get Wenger sacked.

Well they just spunked £55m on a striker who has scored 6 goals in 8 as thing stand so they are trying. I would not be surprised if Wenger goes in the summer but that's the club's sticking point.
Same points difference between Arsenal and City as between Arsenal and 20th place
So they're officially going to finish behind us for the first time since Fergie went?
We'll see, with every defeat it's not exactly going to build momentum or confidence.
That’s true, it’s still funny though! If Atletico beats them, which is very likely, their whole season will go down the shitter
Atletico should have a field day against these lot.
Selling Giroud looks more idiotic each time they play.
Their penultimate game of the season is against Arsenal at The Emirates, would be amazing to see Burnley go and pip Arsenal to 6th.
Deigo Costa vs Mustafi 
Ty "we're aiming for 7th place, because 7 is a lucky number"
Can Arsenal deliberately finish below Burnley to avoid EL next season?
Think it works both ways. Sure he's a very good manager who could've perhaps gone to a more prominent club, but Newcastle are a big club in their own right with rather tame expectations. He's got a good foundation for which to prove himself - IF Newcastle spend.
Arsenal also play us between their EL fixtures.
Not unless Southampton win the cup. Otherwise they'd need to finish 8th.
Man Utd vs West Brom
No, they qualified through the League cup. City are already in the CL, so EL qualification went to 2nd place in the LC which was Arsenal.
That's pretty amazing. How many games is that though?
Benitez has done a great job with what should be a championship squad. Newcastle will do well to keep hold of him in the summer I think, especially if Ashley stays.
Oh my god, that is awful!
Manuel really is a better manager than Newcastle.
Arsenal has officially become a midtable club.

oh good game too, i guess.

Is that confirmed though? I know with the FA Cup, the finalist traditionally takes the place if the winner has already qualified but that's not always been the case with the League Cup.
In any case even if it's not true, they would probably have to finish 8th not to qualify for Europe and they're about 12 points ahead of Leicester there.
