Arsenal's hopes of Premier League glory are all but over with Liverpool 15 points clear at the top of the table, so the UEFA Champions League is their only chance to lift silverware this season.
Their 7-1 victory in the away first leg of this last-16 tie with PSV Eindhoven means that they are quarter-final bound and may rest some of their stars as a result.

Both teams to score - 19/20
Arsenal’s seven-goal bonanza in Eindhoven last week came as something of a surprise considering their recent attacking issues.
The Gunners have only scored three goals in their last five domestic games and looked laboured at times against Manchester United at the weekend, drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford.
They will be looking to pile the misery on a PSV side who have had a dismal month since knocking Juventus out of this competition in the play-off round less than four weeks ago.
The visitors were knocked out of the Dutch Cup by Go Ahead Eagles and then suffered another loss to the same opponents in the Eredivisie to leave them eight points adrift of league leaders Ajax.
Peter Bosz’s men followed that by shipping seven to this Gunners side last week, although they did get on the scoresheet themselves.
That has been a recurring theme for this team, they have scored in their last 18 matches and, with Arsenal likely to rotate, the away side are fancied to get on the scoresheet again, take both teams to score.
Ethan Nwaneri to score at anytime - 2/1
Ethan Nwaneri has been one of the bright sparks in what has been a disappointing run of things for Arsenal recently.
The youngster has eight goals in 12 starts in all competitions and looks likely to be a big goal threat again at the Emirates, so side with the versatile Nwaneri to get on the scoresheet.
Guus Til to have a shot on target - 9/4
Guus Til is a key player in this PSV side and he is no stranger to an attempt at goal. The midfielder has had 36 shots on target across both the Eredivisie and UEFA Champions League, averaging 1.42 per game.
The 27-year-old could add to that tally against what may be a makeshift home backline.
