Arsenal headed into November’s international break on a positive note after they defeated Sevilla and Burnley.
The Gunners are now on the brink of qualifying to the Champions League knockouts, while they are also in contention for the Premier League title with Manchester City.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping for an injury-free break as most of his players will be away on international duty.
Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber are nursing injuries, but Gabriel Jesus has been called up by the national team despite struggling with injuries in recent weeks.
