Arsenal are in with a chance of Champions League qualification for next season, it has been revealed.
The Sun says the national member associations of European football’s governing body gathered for a conference call on Tuesday for an update on ‘a variety of calendar options’ to complete the 2019-20 season and UEFA again urged them to do all they can to complete their league and cup competitions.
But if the Premier League cannot be concluded due to the current suspension of football, it could offer Arsenal a major boost in terms of a return to Europe’s top table, despite Mikel Arteta’s side sitting ninth in the top-flight table.
That is because UEFA is ‘being urged to order associations to use coefficient scores’ as a method for determining which teams play in which European competitions next season.
The coefficient is calculated on the results of clubs competing in the five previous seasons of the Champions League and Europa League.
It means the Gunners would climb into the top four alongside Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
