Though Arsenal haven’t won anything yet, the Gunners continue to be in contention for trophies in every competition they’ve participated in this season.
Mikel Arteta’s side are four points clear at the top of the Premier League, they’re in the Champions League round-of-16 after finishing top of the League Phase, they’re in the League Cup final, and Sunday’s 4-0 win over Wigan has them in the FA Cup last-16 as well.
It could still all fall apart, but Arsenal will at least go into March knowing that every trophy is still a possibility.

Speaking following the win over Wigan, Noni Madueke answered a question in which the reporter suggested Arsenal fans would be getting excited about how the season may end.
“Yeah, for sure, I think they have every right to be,” Madueke told TNT Sports. “We’re working hard to try to deliver the type of season that I think it ought to be, with the way we’re performing right now.
“So that’s our main focus, and yeah, I think it’s exciting. But we need to carry on just doing the right things every single day, and see where we are at the end.”

For the time being, Arsenal’s focus will turn back to the Premier League, with the two games remaining this month being away trips to Wolves and Spurs.
Thanks to Arsenal’s Champions League top-eight finish, the team will then get a rare midweek off before facing Chelsea on March 1st. The FA Cup fifth round (March 7th-8th), the Champions League last-16 (March 10th-18th), and the League Cup final (March 22nd) all take place later in the month.
The hope is that Arsenal will then still be competing on three fronts in April, with one trophy already in the bag.
