The Gunners are first row passengers, along with Premier League rivals Manchester City, on the hunt for a quadruple.
Arteta’s Arsenal and Guardiola’s Man City will look to battle till the very end, which could be the former Arsenal player’s career-defining season as a manager.
Arsenal won convincingly against League One side Wigan Athletic, thanks to a goal each from Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and an Own Goal from Jack Hunt.
Manchester City also won their fourth round game against Saltford F.C, winning 2-0. With the Carabao Cup Final on the table for both City and Arsenal, and having secured the last 16 places in both the FA Cup and Champions League, another fierce competition between them in the coming few months is going to be breathtaking.
Also, just four points separate Mikel Arteta and Pep Guordial’s side in the Premier League. Arsenal have 57 points from 26 games.
They will face each other at the Etihad in the league phase on April 18 and on EFL Cup Final on 22 March at Wembley.
The top two teams in the Premier League could face each other up to five times in a month, if they meet on fifth round and quarter-finals of the Champions League, if they qualify after playing two knockout games in the Champions League respectively.
The next draw of the Champions League is set to take place on Friday, February 26, after the Play-offs are sorted. Also, the FA Cup fifth-round draw will take place on Monday, 16 February at about 18:35 GMT. Also, the FA Cup fifth-round draw will take place on Monday, 16 February at about 18:35 GMT.
Winning just the Champions League would be historic for Arsenal, let alone the Quadruple, and many Arsenal fans in our interviews have said they would be more than happy just with the “Premier League,” as the Gunners chase a significant trophy in over two decades.
On the other hand city has been impeccable in the 2010’s, winning multiple league titles and the Champions League for the first time in their History.
Pep Guordia would love to win at least a major trophy, which could well be his final season with the Blue side of Manchester.
