They have also been eliminated from both domestic cup competitions - the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
The Gunners are already counting down to 10 games to the end of the season, and they will be crowned champions if they can hold on.
They defied the odds of teams sacking a manager ahead of a game and going forward to receive a massive boost. Instead, Arsenal dismantled Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium, with the Eagles having sacked their legend, Patrick Vieira.
