It looks like Arsenal saved all of their March goals for Eindhoven.
While the Gunners have scored just once in their previous three Premier League outings, a remarkable showing in last week's first leg means Mikel Arteta's side have everything but their little toe in the Champions League quarter-finals.
A record-breaking 7-1 victory should allow supporters to enjoy a stress-free Wednesday evening, and some might be tempted to tune into ongoings in the Spanish capital with the Gunners facing one of the Madrid clubs in the next round.
Arsenal's mammoth advantage should encourage Arteta to rotate from Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Here's the team the Spaniard could pick for PSV's visit.

GK: David Raya - Arteta might make changes, but that doesn't mean he has to subject supporters to Neto's second appearance of the season. The Brazilian didn't exactly cover himself in glory on his debut for the club in January.
RB: Ben White - White has been eased back in since returning from knee surgery, but the boss has suggested the right-back's ready for a start. It's about time Jurrien Timber earned some respite.
CB: William Saliba - The French defender joined Arteta in Tuesday's pre-match press conference, indicating that he'll be included in Wednesday's XI.
CB: Jakub Kiwior - Gabriel's run in the side should come to an end in midweek given that Arteta can call upon the stable-enough Kiwior at left centre-back.
LB: Myles Lewis-Skelly - There are a few options at left-back, with Riccardo Calafiori getting the nod at Old Trafford. It's been a tough period for the teenager, but he should come back into the XI here.
CM: Jorginho - With the veteran midfielder set for a summer departure, this may be one of his final starts in Arsenal colours.
CM: Oleksandr Zinchenko - Arteta has talked up the possibility of utilising Zinchenko in midfield after a couple of tidy cameos. He has bags of experience playing in the middle of the park, but never before has he started a game as a midfielder in north London.
CM: Ethan Nwaneri - Martin Odegaard could do with coming out of the spotlight - although this fixture won't exactly garner much attention. Nevertheless, with another attacking option returning to the fold, there's scope for Nwaneri to take on the skipper's role having been deployed wide right for the past few weeks.
RW: Raheem Sterling - Arteta didn't turn to Sterling at the weekend but ended up with Kieran Tierney in his frontline. It's not working for the veteran in north London, but this borderline dead rubber should give the winger a chance to come in from the cold.
ST: Leandro Trossard - We don't need to see Mikel Merino here. Let's go back to the false nine..
LW: Gabriel Martinelli - Martinelli is back after recovering from a hamstring injury, and we should expect the Brazilian to have an hour in him on Wednesday.
