Mikel Arteta has had more time on the training ground with his Arsenal players than he may have expected following the postponement of Sunday's home clash against Everton.
In turn, the next time the Gunners are in action comes in the form of Thursday night's Europa League contest against PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates. Arsenal enjoyed a relatively comfortable 2-1 win away at FC Zurich on match-day one of the competition and will be hoping to build on that momentum.
During that clash, Arteta rang the changes and handed minutes to a number of first-team stars who have found regular playing time hard to come by. One of those in question was left-back Kieran Tierney, at one time arguably the first name on the manager's team-sheet, he has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
