Following a huge 7-1 victory in last week's first leg, Mikel Arteta's side are all but assured of a Champions League quarter-final tie against one of the Madrid clubs next month. Tonight is simply a case of the Guuners staying professional, avoiding injuries and getting the job done.

Arsenal advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals in consecutive seasons eliminating PSV Eindhoven from the competition. Leading by six goals on aggregate, Arsenal were heavy favorites to advance on the night.

Manager Mikel Arteta called the win “very significant” but admitted it was only a stepping stone and not the final destination for his side — a point which was driven home by another lackluster performance in a 1-1 draw with a terribly poor Manchester United side on Sunday.
