It will be tough for Arsenal to make the final 4 - and most likely they'll miss out on the CL for the first time in 10 years.

Arshavin will be interesting - historically Arsenal's signings take a while to make an impact, but that's what's needed.

Same old story really - major injuries, decent players who know the system leave, and the ones who need to step up are too young.

Fabregas, Eduardo, Walcott, Rosicky all to return - but will it be too late?

Fair play to Aston Villa though - they've played solid football and totally deserve to be in the position they are.
