If the first seven games of the new Premier League season are anything to go by then it has already become quite clear as to which Arsenal players Mikel Arteta will rely upon when fit.
After splashing out £120m to sign Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the summer transfer window, the question on many Gunners supporters' minds were could any of the quintet be considered part of the Spaniard's core group of undroppables heading into the campaign?
In truth, it was always going to be difficult for all five signings to come in and make an immediate impact, especially when taking into consideration Arteta's decisions in pre-season all pointed towards him already knowing at least six players that would feature in his strongest starting XI week-in, week-out when fit and available.
