After a weekend off, we’re back in action this evening as we take on PSV in the first leg of our Round of 16 tie. Given our current issues with goalscoring, it wouldn’t be at all surprising if Mikel Arteta leaned into the defensive strength which has been evident throughout our European campaign. Reflecting on […]

Arsenal have been here before, in 2000-01, Manchester United were officially crowned champions over Easter weekend. The Gunners consolidated, reflected, had a busy summer and won the Double the next season. Liverpool finished last season on an island […]
