Before the international break takes precedence, the Emirates Stadium hosts one final tantalising Premier League London derby, as Arsenal welcome Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners must surely now focus on rubber-stamping a top-four place rather than a fanciful title charge, having now gone three games without a league win after their 1-1 stalemate with Manchester United last weekend.
Mikel Arteta's men could also only draw 2-2 with PSV Eindhoven in Wednesday's Champions League encounter, although that mattered little as they progressed to the last eight via a 9-3 aggregate success.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the Gunners' latest injury and suspension news before their showdown with Chelsea, who are just two places and six points below Arsenal in the Premier League table.
