Should Arsenal fulfil their dream of lifting this season's Premier League title in May, their first since 2004, Mikel Arteta must ensure his side continues to fire on all cylinders in the second half of the season.
The Gunners won 12 of their first 14 league games of the season prior to the World Cup to sit top of the table at Christmas. As the return of domestic football approaches, the focus will return on extending their lead on Manchester City - which currently sits at five points.
However, Arsenal return to action perhaps weaker than before due to Gabriel Jesus' injury picked up at the World Cup. The striker, who sustained a knee injury, is expected to miss the next couple of months of action leaving Arteta with only Hale Ender Eddie Nketiah as the only natural striker to choose from.
