Arsenal turn their attention to the Carabao Cup as they take on Leeds in the fourth round on tonight.
The Gunners are enjoying life at the moment and find themselves on a seven-match unbeaten run which has transformed their season.
Success in the domestic cups could be a real priority this term but they’ll certainly face a stern test in the shape of Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
The Whites are enduring something similar to second season syndrome and find themselves in 17th position in the Premier League.
A big scalp in the cup could do wonders for their confidence as they prepare for a must-win clash with Norwich this weekend.

Arsenal v Leeds: What has been said?
Ahead of the fourth round tie, Arsenal boss Arteta has hailed the recent improvement of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He said: “I have never seen Auba transmit what he is doing now.
“Apart from the goals, the celebration when they put the ball in the net, do you see the way he runs? The purpose he has to press the ball, and when he takes it his movement, his link, how is leading the game – that is when he is changing the rest, not when he is static and then he puts the ball in the net. I prefer this Auba.
“For me it is a click. It is a combination that realising that his role has to go well beyond that.
“What was good, or very good, two or three years ago, with his role in this team, at this club, it is not enough. He had to take a step forward.
“I would say the same with Laca, look what he is transmitting, not just doing or playing, what he is transmitting. For me that is really, really important.
“They lead by example and not only there but as well at the training ground. Certain things, a role they could have had three years ago in the squad, now it has changed.”
