Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has warned teammates not to allow their Premier League campaign to fade out.

Cech admits his side need their rivals to have a 'meltdown' to sneak into the top four.

Arsenal's best hope of playing in the Champions League next season relies on winning the Europa League.

Cech said: “There is a big responsibility for everyone because we know with the position we are in the league, it's difficult.

“Someone would have to have a big meltdown in the last seven games to give us a chance to sneak into the top four through the league. We know the Europa League is our chance to book our Champions League spot.

“Not only that, you play a European competition for a cup and for a cup the club has never won. This is another opportunity to add a great trophy to the cabinet.

“You need to keep the progression. You keep that not only on the pitch but by winning things.

“Obviously it will be very important for the club to finish the season with a European success and most importantly, if we can book the spot in the Champions League for next season.

“A club of Arsenal's size and history belongs in the Champions League. Hopefully we can progress another round and give it a shot in the final."
