Seorang pendukung Arsenal dengan berani memprediksi bahwa klub tersebut akan meraih tujuh trofi dalam lima tahun dan bertaruh rambutnya bahwa klub tersebut akan meraih dua trofi musim ini.
Arsenal tetap dalam perburuan untuk meraih quadruple yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, dengan mantan anggota skuad 'Invincibles' Jeremie Aliadiere menjelaskan kepada GOAL mengapa The Gunners tidak akan "menukar" tiga trofi tersebut dengan kemenangan pasti di Premier League. Pemain asal Prancis itu berpendapat bahwa dominasi domestik dapat dipulihkan di Emirates Stadium sambil meraih beberapa trofi besar.

Namun, mantan manajer Strasbourg tetap teguh saat mempersiapkan timnya untuk pertandingan krusial melawan Leeds.
