Arsene Wenger and club captain Per Mertesacker sharing jokes... whatever next!

Indeed, there was a definite good feel factor blowing around the Gunners' training camp at London Colney on Saturday.

Victory at AC Milan in their first-leg last 16 Euro tie on Thurday followed four successive defeats - the first time that had happened to Arsenal in 16 years.

But they were pretty nifty on the rebound as goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey sealed a decisive win.

Arsenal face Watford on the back of three straight Premier League defeats, and four in five.
