IT'S GUNNER GET REAL FOR ARTETA

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

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

However, Arsenal have two Premier League games before they face the Spanish giants in the European quarterfinal.

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

Arsenal 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.
