We're all caught up in Champions League fever, and Arsenal's remaining Premier League outings are nothing more than mere disruptions amid the pursuit of European glory.
This is news we've known for quite some time: the Gunners won't be winning the league title this season. After last weekend's results, Liverpool are 13 points clear with just six games to play. The Reds domestic triumph has the potential to be overshadowed come the 26 May in Munich, however.
Focus will soon turn to two more clashes against Paris Saint-Germain, with Arsenal having a couple of league outings to navigate ahead of the first leg.
Ipswich Town are next on the calendar. I dare any of you to recall events from the reverse fixture, seeing as I'm not convinced that game actually happened. Here's the team Mikel Arteta could select at Portman Road.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Ipswich (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper & Defenders
David Raya (GK) - Raya's not dead yet in the Golden Glove race, but he's got his work cut out if he's to usurp current leader Matz Sels. The Spaniard is two clean sheets behind.
Ben White (RB) - Jurrien Timber produced a couple of masterclasses against Real Madrid and will earn a breather on Sunday. White is a shoo-in to return to the XI in East Anglia.
William Saliba (CB) - Arteta doesn't have much choice in terms of rotation at centre-back, so Saliba will have to keep his place.
Jakub Kiwior (CB) - The Polish defender has slotted in wonderfully in Gabriel's absence, and I think he's garnered the trust of the fanbase.
Kieran Tierney (LB) - Are we seeing a Kieran Tierney resurgence in north London? Maybe that's a stretch, but the Scot will play a prominent role in domestic outings during the final few weeks of the season.
Midfielders
Thomas Partey (DM) - Arteta should be more willing to use Partey in this competition given that he's suspended for the first leg of the semi-final.
Declan Rice (CM) - Rice should probably come out of the team in favour of Oleksandr Zinchenko, but I wouldn't be surprised if the midfielder gets an hour under his belt on Sunday.
Ethan Nwaneri (CM) - The teenager may not yet be ready to contribute to Arsenal's deep Champions League run, but he will get plenty of domestic starts down the stretch having enjoyed a breakout campaign in north London.
Forwards
Bukayo Saka (RW) - Fresh off his heroics in midweek, many would be content with Saka earning some respite this weekend. However, like Rice, Arteta may hand the winger an hour in a bid to keep his fresh.
Leandro Trossard (ST) - Mikel Merino is poised to drop out, handing Trossard an opportunity in a false nine position. The Belgian recently scored when operating centrally against Everton.
Raheem Sterling (LW) - Sterling has just a few more games remaining in an Arsenal shirt, with the club almost certainly deciding against buying him outright this summer.
