Liverpool has gotten a big favor from its neighbor to become an even bigger favorite for the Premier League title.

For the Gunners, their season is now all about the Champions League and their quarter-final with Real Madrid. That begins on Tuesday, when Arsenal host Real in the first leg, and it was clear Mikel Arteta had one eye on then.

Arsenal is in a tough spot. They sit second in the EPL, but there is a sizeable gap between them and first-place Liverpool. On the flip side, they are far enough ahead of the pack that they are unlikely to fall out of the top four, meaning they have a good chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League once again.
