Arsenal F.C. are certainly having a fine season, all things considered. In spite of a rash of injuries to very key players, they’re second in the Premier League standings and third in the UEFA Champions League table. Up next is a visit from 24th place Dinamo Zagreb, so chances are, they’ll still be in good UCL standing once this match is over.
Coincidentally, the team that they are chasing, up at the top, in both competitions is Liverpool FC.
