Arsenal returned to Champions League action on Wednesday evening with a late defeat to Porto in the first leg of their last-16 clash. The Gunners headed to Portugal as favourites with the second leg to be contested at Emirates Stadium in the middle of March.
In Premier League action, Arsenal have been in electric form with 21 goals scored in their last five league games, which included a huge win over title rivals Liverpool. Ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Chelsea this weekend, Liverpool played their scheduled game against Luton a few days early with Jurgen Klopp's side surviving an early scare to win 4-1 and move four points clear at the summit.
Alongside the Premier League schedule intensifying, the latter rounds of the FA Cup will also be played out with Man City and Liverpool both in action. While the Gunners played their first European knockout game last night, following on from Man City's win at Copenhagen last week, the Reds do not return to Europa League action until early March with their opponents to be discovered this Friday.
