Arsenal can use the Europa League exit as motivation when they welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners haven't had long to get Thursday night's penalty shoot-out defeat at the hands of Sporting CP out of their system and, in truth, they can't afford to be affected by it, especially as the incentive for beating the Eagles will be an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
This is because Manchester City have been in FA Cup quarter-final action today, therefore if the north London outfit can complete the double over a Palace side that parted company with Patrick Vieira on Friday morning, they will head into the international break in great spirits.
