With Arsenal not in action over the weekend it was an opportunity for members of this season's loan army to take centre stage.
And it's safe to say Arthur Okonkwo, in particular, grabbed the chance with both hands as he kept a clean sheet for Sturm Graz against Rapid Wien in the Austrian Cup final on Sunday, marking his first piece of silverware with the club after joining in the January transfer window.
Meanwhile, Pablo Mari's £5.9million move to Monza is now complete. As reported by football.london, the Gunners were due to receive this windfall but only on the condition that the Serie A side managed to secure their status in the top-flight of Italian football for a second season.
