Mustafi says Champions League still in Gunners' sights

His excellent form has seen him linked with Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle, among others, but the 24-year-old is not thinking about anything beyond the end of the season.

The league's rules state: "If at the end of the season either the league champions or the clubs to be relegated or the question of qualification for other competitions can not be determined because two or more clubs are equal on points, goal difference and goals scored, the clubs concerned shall play off one or more deciding league matches on neutral grounds, the format, timing and venue of which shall be determined by the board".

Swansea's players paid for the tickets of the 3,000 away fans for the match, and the travelling contingent saw their team notch a third win in four games.

Fifth-placed Arsenal are also challenging for a top-four finish and lie four points behind Liverpool, also with a game in hand. The Tigers had been superb at home under Marco Silva, winning eight of their nine games at the KCOM Stadium in all competitions before losing their unbeaten home record under the Portuguese against Sunderland.

However, Arsene Wenger's record at Stoke does not make for good reading.

Shane Long blazed a penalty over the bar for Southampton, before Patrick Bamford reduced already-relegated Middlesbrough's deficit with his first Premier League goal. A draw on Sunday is enough for Palace to guarantee their survival.

With a maximum of three more games left in the season for all the remaining EPL teams, it's becoming increasingly possible that Arsenal and Liverpool could need to take part in one last mega match. "The best players are in England, so it's the most exciting league and that's why I'm here". In this moment we don't think about Champions League, we think about a title, we think about the possibility of playing the European Super Cup in August against a big club. We have the quality to go forward we just have to keep working.
