The title race is out of Arsenal's hands, but the club still have a job to do when they host Chelsea on Tuesday.
The Gunners' spot atop the Premier League table has been usurped by Manchester City, who have been near-unstoppable in recent weeks and now have one hand on the title. The Sky Blues are one point up on Arsenal but also have a game in hand, so even if the north London side are victorious against their crosstown rivals they still have to hope for a City stumble somewhere prior to the end of the campaign.
It's not a great scenario to be in for the team that spent over 200 days atop the standings, but manager Mikel Arteta wants his team to focus on the task at hand.
"Win [Tuesday] - that’s what we have to do," Arteta said. "Within the disappointment and the spirit around [the club], we need to do two things - recognise what a lot of people around the club have done to get us back into the Champions League, which was already a difficult thing to achieve.
"Not a lot of people were very optimistic that we had the ability to do that at the start of the season, and we need to start recognising the good work that a lot of people have done to achieve that.
"The second thing - which I like the most - is that even achieving that with six games to go - something that hasn’t happened in more than a decade at this club - that we are still not satisfied, still upset and we want more.
"We want the club to be consistently with the best, that’s the mentality we need and that’s what I’ve loved most over the last few days."
