Arsenal host the champions of England on Sunday afternoon as they welcome Manchester City to the Emirates Stadium looking for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since August.
The Gunners finally ended a nine-match winless streak across all competitions with victory over West Ham United on Monday night, and they followed that up by coming from two goals down to earn a draw against Standard Liege on Thursday which puts them through to the next round of the Europa League.
It is still only one win in 11 games for Freddie Ljungberg's side, though, and they will hope to improve that record against a Man City team that could be 17 points off the pace by the time they kick off.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
