Arsenal will attempt to put their European pain to one side when the club’s open-top bus parade to mark their first Premier League title since 2004 gets under way on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s title-winning team are due to begin their 5.6-mile route through north London at 2pm – just 18 hours after their Champions League heartbreak against Paris St Germain in Budapest.
