Leaders Arsenal return to Premier League action after a turbulent couple of weeks: before the competition’s most recent break they were still in a hunt for a quadruple, but two cup defeats in succession mean their trophy hopes are down to two.
Happily for them, they are nine points clear of Manchester City - who beat them in the Carabao Cup final - at the top of the league and are fresh from a late 1-0 win over Sporting in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final to stay in the hunt for both honours.
