Arsenal are riding high with sole possession of first place in the Premier League after beating Newcastle United this past week. The team is recovering well-enough from their litany of injuries and have more than enough firepower to keep up their winning ways moving forward.

Whether the team manages to take the next step and become a serious contender for the Champions League remains to be seen. The Gunners will be hard-pressed to find eligible players to sign that they can bring with them when they play Barcelona,but anything is possible.
