Arsenal will seek to keep their fleeting chances of a top-seven finish alive when they travel to Stamford Bridge for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The Gunners responded to their Europa League exit with a 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, as Emile Smith Rowe, Nicolas Pepe and Willian got the goals which relegated the Baggies from the top flight.
Mikel Arteta's side leapfrogged Leeds United into the top half of the table with that win, but they remain four points behind seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur with only three games left to go.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Chelsea.
