After Manchester United's defeat to West Ham, Arsenal are now guaranteed to finish no lower than fourth in the Premier League

Arsenal have secured Champions League football for next season after Manchester United were defeated by West Ham on Tuesday evening. 

There is just one game remaining for the all of the top five teams in England's top tier, and the Gunners are five points clear of fifth place Manchester United meaning that they will be guaranteed Champions League football next season. 

Manchester United can also still qualify but they need to beat Bournemouth in their last game, whilst hoping that bitter rivals Man City lose to Swansea City. 

The 19th consecutive qualification for the competition places the north London club just one year behind record holders Real Madrid, who have qualified for the competition 20 years running.
