What you should consider is that despite all the above, Arsenal are still basically neck and neck with Leicester, which should tell you something. Bear in mind that when they get tonked by Barca, they will just be in the FA cup and the League. If they avoid replays, they don't play any midweek games.
Spurs on the other hand have a decent shot at progressing in the EL and may a very gruelling Thursday/Sunday schedule.
The most recent (and probably only relevant) past experience of this was plops title run where they were in a similar situation regarding games. They almost managed to sustain it as they ran pretty good with injuries.
In short, it's definitely not sown up. 3 other teams have a realistic shot.
