A 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Sunday means Arsenal have now lost their previous four matches in all competitions.
With a top four spot in the Premier League now long gone, the only realisitic hope the Gunners have of ensuring a return to Europe's top table next season comes in the Europa League. It's 11/2 (6.50) that they win the competition but it's no sure-thing that Wenger's side even make the quarter finals.

dabblebet make Arsenal their 8/13 (1.62) favourites to qualify over two legs against AC Milan but it's the 5/4 (2.25) on the Serie A side to get through that makes plenty of appeal. They're also 14/1 (15.0) to win the tournament, which looks a solid bet for those searching for bigger potential returns - although the quality of teams left in the competition means they might come up short.
It was a dismal start to the campaign after a summer of spending but Milan come into this game unbeaten in 2018, a 13-game stretch which has seen them record high-profile victories over both Lazio and Roma.
Trailing fifth place Inter by seven points in Serie A, there is no reason for Gennaro Gattuso's side not to see this competition as their best route back into the Champions League and their 4-0 aggregate win over Ludogorets in the last 32 was very encouraging.
Travel-sick Gunners
In Europe this season, Milan have won five of their six home games by an aggregate score line of 17-3, which doesn't bode well for an Arsenal team with such severe travel sickness. While a second leg at the Emirates is a positive for the Premier League side, they could already have a mountain to climb given Wenger's side have won just once (3-0 against Ostersunds) in their previous eight games on the road.

With Alexandre Lacazette still out injured and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cup-tied, the 21/20 (2.05) available on a Milan victory at San Siro on Thursday night looks a solid enough bet but instead punters should take the 5/4 (2.25) with dabblebet on the Italians to qualify over the two legs.
These are two teams going in opposite directions and while the Europa League offers Wenger a chance to save his season, Gatusso's side are in fantastic form and are overpriced to send Arsenal spinning out of the competition.
