As Mikel Arteta looks to rotate his Arsenal side enough to keep key players fit for Sunday's Premier League visit of Chelsea but also to try and add gloss and momentum to the Champions League last-16 tie against PSV Eindhoven, all the pressure is off. Only injuries and suspensions can bother him now.
Arsenal are through barring a miracle and shock the type of which has quite literally never been seen before. Arteta can plan with this in mind. The Chelsea match is a big one.
A win against the Blues will cement his side in second place and could see the gap to Nottingham Forest in third grow to seven points with nine games remaining. Losing would allow Chelsea to within to within a one-match swing, dragging Arsenal into the scrap for Champions League qualification.
