Spending big (and wisely), ditching the egos and overseeing the rapid rise of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe - how Mikel Arteta has got Arsenal firing as they target a Champions League return... and maybe overhauling Chelsea as London's top dogs

It's been a few years of toil for Arsenal fans but finally a return to the Champions League is appearing on the horizon as we enter the business end of the season.

The Gunners recorded their eighth victory in 10 games following their 3-2 victory at Watford to take them inside the top four above Manchester United.

However, the situation is even more promising for Mikel Arteta's men given that they have a one point advantage over United with three games in hand. They have also played three games fewer than West Ham with a three-point advantage.
