After the match against Villa, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was asked whether he thinks there will be more drama to come in the title race.
He said: “That’s a possibility, that’s the reality right now. It was the same a few months back, we knew that this moment could come. Now it’s about reacting and keep believing and doing what we can.

“I don’t know but when you look at the schedule of the games that we have to play every three days, it’s crazy. So this can happen to any team, it has happened in the past and we cannot control that at all.”
Arteta added: “We can control how we are going to be now, prepare from tomorrow to give ourselves the best chance to go to Munich with big belief and win the game to go into the semi-finals.”
