Spurs drawing against Everton means that for the first time in the run-in, it is in Arsenal’s hands where they finish. Currently 2 points behind them, with a game in hand, means that we have the potential to go one point ahead of them and stay in fourth for more than 24 hours. Their hilarious loss in the Europa league means that they will no longer have more matches to tire them out. Arsenal need to not screw this up.
Previous meetings
This game has been frustrating in the past, to say the least. The reverse fixture this season came at a time where Arsenal were seriously struggling, resulting in a match that saw Arsenal undone by a Grant Holt tap in from a shot parried by Vito Mannone in the 19th minute.

Arsene Wenger’s decision to drop Thomas Vermaelen for the last four matches has coincided with four victories including two impressive away clean sheets against German Champions Bayern Munich and League Cup winners Swansea.
Vermaelen’s absence from the starting line-up has drawn questions about the Belgian’s future at the club due to his form this season combined with interest from clubs abroad. At the start of the season, Vermaelen was Arsenal’s clear choice to be the new captain and seemingly the first choice centre half.

David Dein has given his two pence on Arsenal’s summer plans, reassuring fans that, in his opinion at least, money will be spent. The former vice-chairman left Arsenal in 2007 but remains good friends with Wenger, who he claims still has the “fire in his belly” to compete at the top.
"Clearly they have fallen 20-odd points behind Manchester United which is not good enough and it speaks for itself that he has to strengthen the team and I know he will do that," he said.

TRANSFER SPECULATION! The resort of bored journalists without a crisis narrative. Some is good, some is bad, but what you know it’ll do it get people talking (and complaining). Today’s batch consists of a pair of hard-to-believe stories, and one that’s quite sad.
Easily swayed
According to FranceFootball, Bayern are interested in signing Laurent Koscielny in the summer. According to an unnamed source the German champions were impressed by his performance against them in the Champions League second leg and have “made enquiries”.
