Michael Arteta says Arsenal used the international holiday to “reflect and redesign.
The Gunners have dual targets in the final weeks of the season. They face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, their first game next week, while they still have a chance to look for Down Liverpool in the Premier League.
Arsenal are 12 points behind Mercedes, with just nine games left and no room for mistakes, starting against Fulham tomorrow night.

“We had a good time to think and do and put ourselves in a good situation to get into the most exciting part of the Premier League season,” Arteta said.
“We can win tomorrow. The preparation is to be better than Fulham and beat them. If we do that, we will start creating force of force that will help us in both competitions.
Arsenal have fallen since Liverpool after winning only one win in four games and Arteta is waiting for another tough test against a Fulham club that will remain in a contest to enter a European qualifying venue.
“They are always a tough opposition. They are good coaches and have been together for many years.
“They have a very clear identity and an idea how to approach the game. So we have to be very good to beat them.
“We had a lot of dominance against them in the last game (1-1 in December), but they were very clinical,” he said. They managed to score and sit down and reduced the space.”
Fulham is heading north of London on the back of a 3-0 draw against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s men were disappointed, but a win in the UAE moved to sixth on the table, one point behind Chelsea.

The big news for Arsenal is that England’s Bocayo Saka is “a ready to leave” and will be included in the squad.
Saka has missed a serious spinal injury in the Crystal Palace in December, but has been in good shape after a long time of reform.
“Bukayo Saka is ready to leave,” Arteta said.
“All the details have been done before. Now it’s about putting it on the grass at an appropriate moment. But it pushes it because it really wants.
“We have respected the temporary line and we have done everything. He is ready to leave.
It is likely to start on the bench and Ethan Nuaniyeri will continue below the right.
Negatative for Arsenal is Ricardo Calafiori with an international mission with Italy with a knee injury and is not available.
Fulham, the owner of a clean health bill, will choose the same component that was taken from Palace, although Silva is likely to change the performance of the weekend.

But retreat to the palace, and the nature of the failure, can take a long time to pass it.
Arsenal are moving with Saka’s return and we think they will appear in the second half with the previous win.
