We are in the middle of March and Arsenal actually stand a good chance on progressing into the quarter final stage of an European competition!

Assuming all goes well tonight for Arsenal, the Gunners will stand a real chance of progressing deep into the competition, and may even be some people’s favourites to win the competition.

Here are five reasons why Arsenal can win the Europa league this season!
