Arsenal return to Premier League action at Newcastle United on Saturday as they aim to keep pace with Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race.
A 2-2 draw with Arne Slot's side at Emirates Stadium last week means the Gunners began the latest matchweek five points behind champions City at the top of the standings.
Mikel Arteta saw Gabriel and Jurrien Timber forced off with injuries against the Reds, yet there was confidence around the condition of the pair following Wednesday's Carabao Cup win at Preston North End.
Newcastle, who eliminated Chelsea from that competition in midweek, after losing a league match at Stamford Bridge three days earlier, should offer a stern test of Arsenal's credentials regardless of the injury picture.
