After Leandro Trossard’s equaliser secured a 2-2 draw last week, the quarterfinal match is intriguingly poised, and even if away goals are no longer an issue, Arsenal will still be optimistic about their prospects of moving on.But after Sunday’s humiliating loss to Aston Villa, which saw Manchester City seize complete control of the Premier League championship race, Arteta has to uplift everyone’s spirits.

In the last moments of the match against Villa, with his team frantically looking for a goal to break the tie, Odegaard was brought on as a replacement.

Arteta was only ready to say that he had “a leg issue” and would not go into further detail about why he had pulled his captain.Odegaard’s apparent unavailability will undoubtedly raise Arsenal’s prospects of pulling off what would be a historic triumph at the Allianz Arena, but they will need to muster a strong response following last weekend’s crushing loss.
