Arsenal is competing in the Champions League for the first time in what feels like forever. After three group stage games, the Gunners sit top of Group B after a 2-1 win over Sevilla.

With the Gunners now fighting on multiple fronts and, in truth, should feel confident in their ability to again push City all the way for the league title, the Champions League is a different beast.

Sitting top of Group B with back-to-back home games at the Emirates to come in the competition, Arsenal has a great chance to qualify early for the knockout stages.

While most Arsenal fans would ideally be happy with some sort of progress in the competition, to go as far the club wants to go while also fighting the battle in the league could be a bridge too far.

But the Gunners have shown they can match it with City in the league…but could they do it in Europe?

Time will tell.
