Premier League action returns to the Emirates this evening after the international break as Arsenal host Liverpool.
In truth, both sides will perhaps be prioritising Europe in the final weeks of the season, with Liverpool facing Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final in midweek, while Arsenal play Slavia Prague in the Europa League.
However, for the visitors in particular there may yet be plenty to play for in the league, with Chelsea’s surprise 5-2 defeat to West Brom at lunchtime giving the Reds the chance to go within two points of the top four.
Mikel Arteta, too, knows that building momentum in the Premier League could play a big part in his quest for Europa League glory, but will have to do without two of his brightest young talents this evening, with Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe both injured.
