Arsenal are back in action on Saturday when they face London rivals Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta's men should be fresh after a weekend off as part of the Premier League's staggered winter break, while Palace will also be well-rested.
The Gunners are now five points off top spot after a wobble over the festive period, and they can ill-afford to lose more ground. Palace, meanwhile, will want to add to their five-point lead over the bottom three. Ahead of Saturday's clash, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both clubs.
