It's set to be a quiet weekend at London Colney with Arsenal not in Premier League action until Monday night when they visit relegation-threatened Sheffield United. Victory at Bramall Lane will ensure the Gunners keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool at the league's summit.

Mikel Arteta's side will be itching to take to the field after their third-round FA Cup elimination at the hands of Liverpool last month meant they were one of the few Premier League big-hitters not in midweek action, with their last outing coming at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday as they thrashed Newcastle United 4-1.
