Failure to qualify for next season's Champions League would confirm a disappointing season for Arsenal, but the north London club have not yet abandoned hope that their rivals will slip up, defender Laurent Koscielny has said. Arsenal are fifth in the Premier League table with two games to play. "The Champions League is a competition that a player wants to play in because you play against the best teams in Europe and it is always an important competition. Arsenal face relegated Sunderland later on Tuesday, and can still add a trophy to their cabinet this season by beating Premier League champions Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 27. Arsenal end their league season at home to Everton on Sunday.
