A crucial week for Arsenal starts Wednesday night against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Mikel Arteta’s team faces two huge games in its pursuit of a Premier League and Champions League double this season.
Leading 1-0 against Lisbon after the first leg in Portugal last week, Arsenal is closing in on a place in the semifinals for the second successive year. Then on Sunday it faces Manchester City in a top two showdown in the Premier League.
Arteta said there was “zero fear” ahead of a potentially pivotal few days.

Ulster back row Bryn Ward says the rivalry with Irish interprovincial rivals Leinster makes Friday’s interprovincial game between the two teams at the Affidea Stadium “a spicy one”.
Ulster sit third in the table, one point ahead of Leo Cullen’s charges, before the encounter in Belfast, and aim to avenge a narrow 24-20 loss to Leinster in their previous United Rugby Championship meeting in Dublin in December.
“Any home interpro at home is a spicy one, but with Leinster I just think it goes to the next level,” Ward told BBC Sport NI’s Gavin Andrews.

City ran out convincing 3-0 winners at Stamford Bridge thanks to second half goals from Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku.

In recent games, Northern Ireland have not been known for scoring a flurry of goals with just one in their past six matches prior to Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Malta.
However, during Michael McArdle’s first game in charge, they looked confident and netted four times in a match for the first time since 2023.
McArdle handed Keri Halliday a rare start with the winger netting her first two international goals and registering an assist during the 4-0 win.

Mikel Arteta asked for perspective on a week he described as the “biggest opportunity” of his Arsenal tenure. His side are six points clear at the top of the Premier League with six games to go. They are potentially 90 minutes away from a Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid; a favourable draw. Yes, things could be far worse. But after a catastrophic weekend, Arsenal are staring at the ghosts of their recent history.
“We need to embrace that,” Arteta said, reiterating that his players must rise to the pressure that comes with the run-in.
