The Gunners travel to Lisbon to face Sporting CP in the first leg of the quarter-finals as they look to take a decisive stride towards the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Mikel Arteta&#8217;s men then return to Premier League action this Saturday for the first time since March 14 when they welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal remain firmly in control of the title race, despite Manchester City being hot on their heels following their Carabao Cup final triumph at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, the Gunners technically require just 15 points &#8211; five consecutive wins from here &#8211; to clinch the trophy. The north London outfit have amassed 70 points from 31 games so far, while second-placed City have accumulated 61 points from 30 matches.<\/p>\n<p><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_de167e\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">FA decide on Gabriel Martinelli punishment after Arsenal star pushed referee<\/span><\/span><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_de167e\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Ex-Premier League referee slams Arsenal star for his behaviour &#8211; &#8216;Total disrespect&#8217;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">This means Arsenal could finish on 91 points if they win all of their remaining games, while City&#8217;s maximum possible tally stands at 85.
