Arsenal will endeavour to snap a two-game domestic losing run when they welcome newly-promoted Burnley to the Emirates on Saturday for a Premier League battle.
The Gunners were dumped out of the EFL Cup by West Ham United before losing their unbeaten top-flight streak in a 1-0 beating at the hands of Newcastle United, who struck through Anthony Gordon's controversial winner.
However, Mikel Arteta's men put one foot in the Champions League knockout stages by seeing off Sevilla 2-0 on Wednesday, as Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka struck either side of the half-time whistle.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Burnley, who fell to a 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend.
