Arsenal and Chelsea seem to be the most desperate teams in terms of UEFA Champions League qualification next season with the chances of finishing in the top four in their domestic league diminishing by the day.

The two London-based giants inched closer to automatic Champions League qualification by coming out victorious in their Europa league ties played last night, with Arsenal eliminating Belarusian side BATE Borisov and Chelsea making light work of Malmo.
