Despite being rooted to the bottom of the Premier League at the start of September, Arsenal are now in the driving seat for a place in the top four under Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal are one point ahead of Manchester United who are battling the Gunners for the final Champions League spot, but Arteta's side have three games in hand.
The Gunners have seen a major turn of form and a vast improvement after Arteta's six summer signings started to gel at the Emirates, even though no new faces were brought in during the January transfer window.
