Arsenal will be hoping that the EFL Cup provides some much-needed respite from their Premier League form when they face Manchester City in the quarter-finals at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
Mikel Arteta's side lost again at the weekend, going down 2-1 to Everton at Goodison Park to make it now seven Premier League games without a win and only two points from a possible 21 in that time.
The under-fire Spaniard will be hoping for a favour from another of his former clubs here, but they take on a Man City team that has dominated this competition in recent years.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
