Arsenal v FC Basel: The Inside Track

“In life you can only show that you have learned. Last year we went to Leicester and won 5-2 and three days later we lost at home to Olympiakos 3-2.” - Arsène Wenger

PREVIEW

Arsenal 3 Chelsea 0. Let’s enjoy that one more time.

Now let’s move on.

Saturday’s victory was as intoxicating as it gets, but there’s a new challenge on the horizon. And as Arsène Wenger knows all too well, it only takes 90 minutes for a football team to lurch from cloud nine to square one.

Ahead of Wednesday’s brush with Basel, the boss was emphatic: if we want to top our Champions League group, the high standards of Saturday must be maintained.
