Arsenal are very excited to play reigning champions Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals next month but they will not be distracted from their Premier League duties as they shift their focus to Chelsea,

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are ‘very capable’ of beating Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, although he recognises it will be ‘very difficult’ for them to do so. The Gunners strolled into the last eight with a 9-3 aggregate victory over PSV over two legs of the last 16.

Arsenal are set to face off against the Champions League holders in the quarter-finals and Mikel Arteta has some advice for his players.

To say that Arsenal have a commanding lead would be an understatement. Their 7-1 triumph in Eindhoven was the largest-ever away win in the Champions League knockout phase; no team has overcome more than a two-goal deficit away from home, let alone six.

Arsenal will aim to return to winning ways when they host rivals Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.The Gunners are presently second in the table, 15 points behind leaders Liverpool,
