Just a handful of fixtures from the September international break remain before the Premier League season resumes for Arsenal.
The dream scenario for Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is that all 10 of his senior players selected for international duty return to London Colney this week unscathed as squad rotation is going to be vital over the next six weeks with his side in action 13 times across three different competitions.
And it begins on Saturday for Arsenal with a huge North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur, whilst there are fixtures against the likes of Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Brighton, Chelsea and Wolves to negotiate before another pause in the season for the winter World Cup.
