Arsenal have a huge run of games ahead of them, with Champions League qualification on the line. Mikel Arteta has guided his side to fourth in the Premier League, three points and one game in hand over fifth-placed Tottenham.
If the Gunners continue on their good run of form, then a return to Europe’s top competition is on the cards, but they will need everything to go their way. With Manchester United, Chelsea, West Ham and Spurs all to come before the end of the season, the race for the top four is hardly over yet.
Before then, there is a two-week break until the next set of Premier League fixtures, with international games making a return for March. It may give Arteta time to prepare for the run-in, but it could also hand him his nightmare scenario.
