#1 Greater chance of winning the FA Cup and finishing in top six in the league
Easier said than done, Arsenal certainly have a better chance of doing something concrete in the FA Cup now that this is the only cup competition they are alive in. As stated before, while winning the Europa League was probably the Gunners' best way to get into the Champions League, the Gunners are still pretty much in the mix when it comes to finishing in the top five in the league standings.
The likes of Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli, Reiss Nelson, Bukayo Saka, Joe Willock, Maitland-Niles and Guendouzi have proved to be reliable options in the FA Cup this season, as they recorded victories against Leeds United and Bournemouth.
Their performances against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool in the League Cup were nothing short of brilliant, which is conclusive proof that Arsenal might lack a lot of things but having top-notch young talent is not one of them.
In the league, the Gunners are only 4 points behind Manchester United and to make things more interesting, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will be travelling to Goodison Park and then take on Manchester City at home in their next two league games, while Arsenal will be playing West Ham at home and Brighton away.
Two wins for Arsenal and a dismal run for the Red Devils could see Arteta's men come straight back into the fight for top four. Considering Arsenal's situation right now, even though they aren't at their best in terms of confidence, a trip to Portsmouth and a home game against West Ham should do them a world of good.
The bottom line is that although Europa League elimination is horrific for the players and fans across the globe, it is not as bad as it seems. This could prove to be the turning point for Arsenal. A silver lining amongst all the chaos.
