Arsenal's Premier League title chances took a slight knock on Sunday when they d rew 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield.
Of course, it isn't a bad result considering the difficulty of playing Jurgen Klopp's side away from home, but considering the north Londoners had been 2-0 up after half an hour, they will undoubtedly be kicking themselves in frustration. Next up for Mikel Arteta and co is an away clash against West Ham United, who have struggled for consistency this season.
Ahead of the Gunners' visit to east London, Arteta has been putting his side through their paces at the club's London Colney training ground. Here is three things we noticed from the pictures released from Tuesday's session.

Nketiah's return
Backup striker Eddie Nketiah was spotted back in training with the rest of his teammates after missing the last month with an ankle injury. The Hale end academy graduate performed admirably when Gabriel Jesus had been on the treatment table, scoring a scoring brace during January's 3-2 victory over Manchester United.
Both the aforementioned Jesus and Leandro Trossard have been utilised centrally since Nketiah picked up his ankle issue.
Still no Saliba
However, one player that has still not returned to full training is defender William Saliba. The French international sustained a lower back injury during last month's Europa League disappointment against Sporting CP and has been sidelined since.
Rob Holding has taken Saliba's place in Arteta's starting XI but the former Bolton man's limitations on the ball make Saliba a huge miss.
All smiles for Arteta
Arteta seemed to be in a cheery mood, snapped rocking a beaming smile in several pictured. The Spaniard will be keen to keep spirits up after the draw over the weekend, admitting in his post-match press conference that the mood in the dressing room was downbeat.
"When you concede at the end it’s always two points dropped because you have it and you’re suffering in certain moments", the Spaniard admitted. "The feeling is ‘ah we should have done it’.
"But being fair to ourselves they had four big chances that they could score and the penalty. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror and we should have done better in the second half."
