Arsenal suffered a forgettable weekend as they slipped from fourth place to sixth in the Premier League table before they even kicked a ball.
Things did not exactly improve when they did get a chance to respond to wins for Chelsea and Manchester United either, with Manchester City cruising to a 3-1 win over Unai Emery's side at the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners have now lost three of their last five games across all competitions and, having been in the Champions League places on goal difference before the last round of fixtures, they now find themselves three points and seven goals worse off than fourth-placed Chelsea.
Arsenal have suffered some torrid luck with injuries this season, in fairness, and they once again have a lengthy list of absentees ahead of Saturday's match against bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield Town.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Emery's side.
