Mikel Arteta says Arsenal used an international break to “reflect and reset” on the eve of running.
Gunners have twin goals over the last weeks of the season. They face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the first legs that arrived next week, while still holding an outdoor chance to persecute Liverpool in the Premier League title.
Arsenal is 12 points behind Merseysider with only nine games and have no room for mistakes, starting tomorrow night against Fulham.

Arteta said: “We had a good time to think about and reset and put in a good position to get into the most exciting part of the Premier League season.
“It is possible to win tomorrow. Preparation is better than Fulham and beat them. If we do it, we will start to build a momentum that will help us with both competitions.”
Arsenal lagged behind Liverpool after running from just one victory in four league matches, and Arteta expects another difficult test against Fulham’s side that remains in a quarrel to get into a European qualifying place.
He added, “They are always difficult opposition. They are well trained and together for many years. They have a great organization and quality of individuals.
“They have a very clear identity and the idea of how to approach the game. So, we have to be very good to win them.
“We had a lot of dominance in the last game against them (1-1 draw in December), but they were very clinically. They managed to score and sit back and reduce the spaces.”
Fulham headed to the north London at the back of the defeat of Morale 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday.
Men Marca Silve were disappointing, but the victory on the Emirates would move them to the sixth table, one point behind the fourth placement of Chelsea.
Arsenal V Fulham team news team
Great news for Arsenal is the fact that the wing player of England Bukayo Saka is “ready to go” and will be included in the team.
Saka did not play from gaining a serious injury to the lower leg in winning at Crystal Palace in December, but again in the state after a long rehabilitation period.
“Bukayo Saka is ready to move,” Arteta said.
“All the careful things have already been done. Now it’s about putting in the grass at the right time. But he pushes himself because he really wants it.
“We respected the time lane and we did everything. He is ready to go.”
He will probably start on the bench with Ethan Nwaneri, continuing to the right.
Negative for Arsenal, Riccardo Calafiori sustained a knee injury to international duties with Italy and is not available.
Fulham has a pure health account and will choose from the same team that has taken over the Palace, although Silva is likely to make changes given their weekend.

Arsenal V Fulham statistics
- Arsenal won five of his last 10 games against Fulham for two or more goals
- In each of Arsenal’s last seven home games, there was the first half
- Fulham scored a goal in the first half in the last four away games
Prediction
If Fulham had won over the weekend, this would have been a more difficult game for Arsenal.
But the backlog of the palace and the nature of the defeat could take some time to get over it.
Arsenal will be attached to Saka’s return and we think it will re -appear in the second half with the game already won.
Prediction: Arsenal 4-1 Fulham
