Arsenal were boosted by the return of five first team players in the North London Derby 3-1 win at the weekend.
Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney all picked up knocks whilst away on international duty but returned to the matchday squad at the weekend. Partey was left out of both games for Ghana as a 'precautionary measure' but was influential in helping the Gunners beat Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta was able to hand both Tierney and Zinchenko valuable minutes, along with Odegaard who did feature for Norway after declaring himself fit during the international break. Reiss Nelson picked up a muscle injury early on in the season but was an unused substitute in the win over Tottenham and could feature for Arsenal in the Europa League this week.
