GUNNS TARGET

Title chase first up for Arteta - then Real

- by JOHN CROSS

MIKEL ARTETA has the golden prize of the Champions League firmly in his sights.

The two-legged tie with Real Madrid is what most Arsenal fans are thinking about in what has been a topsy-turvy season.

However, the Gunners have two Premier League games before they face the Spanish giants in their European quarter-final.

They take on Everton on April 5, while, before then, next Tuesday against Fulham represents perhaps Arsenal's last chance to apply some pressure on Liverpool at the top.

Arteta's men go first 24 hours ahead of the Merseyside derby, with Liverpool entertaining Everton at Anfield and victory over Fulham would reduce the gap at the top to nine points.
