The Gunners have fallen short in the Premier League title race again and may have a fight on their hands to finish second for the third campaign in a row, but it could still prove to be an incredibly successful season.
Mikel Arteta’s side take on PSG in the semi-finals of the Champions League, with Arsenal now just three matches away from winning the competition for the first time.
The fixture list has been kind to the Gunners, who are not in action this weekend and therefore have more time than usual to prepare for their European showdown.
Why are Arsenal not playing this weekend?
Arsenal had been due to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, just a few days before they host PSG in the first leg of their semi-final tie.
However, the Eagles have reached the last-four of the FA Cup and so will be at Wembley this weekend, taking on Aston Villa.
It has worked out well for Arsenal, giving them six days between the visit of Oliver Glasner’s side to north London and the clash with PSG at the Emirates Stadium next week.
The Gunners will then host Bournemouth on May 3, with Arteta potentially opting to rotate his side ahead of the trip to Paris for the second leg four days later.
