Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners had made a perfect start to the campaign before running into champions Liverpool on Monday night, taking the lead at Anfield but ultimately falling to a 3-1 defeat.
Mikel Arteta's side got revenge of sorts with a penalty-shootout victory at the same venue just three days later to knock Liverpool out of the EFL Cup, though, and they will now host a Sheffield United team without a point or even a goal yet this season.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos has been on the brink of a return in the last couple of games but fell short of the matchday squad on both occasions.
