Arsenal's search for their first Premier League victory since the start of November will continue on Saturday when they welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have lost five of their last seven league matches, failing to win in the process, to sit down in 15th position in the table, just four points outside of the relegation zone.
Mikel Arteta's side will be determined to pick up a positive result against Chelsea, but the team's confidence took another hit on Tuesday when they were thumped 4-1 at home by Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Gabriel Martinelli, who has only just returned from a long-term knee injury, had to be substituted in Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Man City after taking a heavy blow to his shin. The youngster avoided serious injury, but the kick from Zack Steffen and subsequent swelling means that he is a major doubt for this contest.
ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST
Arsenal have no suspension issues this weekend, with Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka serving the final game of his three-match ban against Man City in the EFL Cup.
