Thursday sees the March international break kick into gear for players called up to represent their respective nations. But will it be a happy experience for Arsenal?
It's safe to say the mood around the club has changed drastically since the September window when the Gunners were propping up the Premier League table after losing their opening three games against Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City. Fast forward six months and Arsenal find themselves in control of the top-four race with 10 games to go with the upturn in form coinciding with key players being available for selection and manager Mikel Arteta being able to name a settled side for more than one game.

Well, football.london takes you through what would be the best and worse case scenario for Arsenal during the March international break.
