Arsenal will be looking to regain some much-needed confidence when they welcome Rapid Vienna to the Emirates Stadium for Thursday's Europa League showdown.
The Gunners recently lost their third Premier League home game on the bounce as Wolverhampton Wanderers ran out 2-1 winners in North London, with Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence netting either side of a Gabriel Magalhaes header.
However, Mikel Arteta's men have swept aside the competition in the Europa League and have already secured their spot in the round of 32 ahead of Thursday's visit of Vienna.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Europa League showdown with the Austrian side.

Wolves' win at the Emirates was overshadowed by a horrific clash of heads between David Luiz and Raul Jimenez, with the latter having to undergo surgery on a fractured skull. Luiz still completed the first half despite concussion fears, a move which was widely criticised, and Arsenal have since confirmed that the defender will not be available for Thursday's game.

Arsenal were initially hopeful that Thomas Partey would be fit to return from a thigh injury in time to play against Wolves, but having already suffered defeat to the West Midlands outfit, Gooners' misery was compounded after the game with the news that Partey's injury is more serious than first thought. Arteta has revealed that the midfielder is likely to miss the next few games, potentially ruling him out until 2021.
