Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes may be fading, but the Gunners now shift their focus to the UEFA Champions League as they prepare for a crucial knockout stage clash against PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal’s European Focus
After setbacks in domestic competitions, Arsenal’s best chance at silverware this season now lies in Europe.
They have shown strong form in the Champions League, winning their last four matches and scoring 13 goals along the way.
Historically, Arsenal have had the upper hand against Dutch opposition, losing just once in their last 14 encounters.
Meanwhile, PSV Eindhoven have struggled in recent weeks, winning just one of their last six matches in all competitions.
