Arsenal have been putting the final touches to their preparations for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.
Mikel Arteta's men take on the Foxes at the Emirates Stadium (7.15pm) as they look to build on their 2-1 victory away to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Gunners squad took part in a training session at London Colney on Saturday afternoon.
Here's what we spotted from those training pictures and what it tells us ahead of the game against the Foxes on Sunday evening.
Partey gets stuck in
New £45million signing Thomas Partey could be seen getting stuck in as he was pictured tackling team-mate Hector Bellerin.
Partey made his full debut in midweek and will be hoping to earn a first Premier League start following his deadline day move from Atletico Madrid.
And if the photos of him making tackles on his team-mates are anything to go by, Arsenal fans are in for a treat with his no-nonsense displays.
Pepe out?
Nicolas Pepe was notable by his absence from the extensive range of photographs taken during the training session. Whether we can read anything into this remains to be seen.
Pepe has started Arsenal's past two matches since they returned to action following the international break.
Does it mean the club's record signing will miss the match with Leicester?
Summer signing Willian was pictured training as a "slight calf issue" is assessed.
Dani Ceballos also trained as he steps up his return from a bruised ankle.
Martinelli is back
Meanwhile, there was a welcome appearance from Gabriel Martinelli, who has been recovering from a knee injury he sustained during training back in June.
The Brazilian forward was given a message of encouragement from the club's official Twitter account, which posted: "Keep going, @g_martinelli01".
Having undergone a procedure to repair cartilage damage, Martinelli is now running outside again, alongside a daily strengthening and recovery programme.
It is hoped he can return to full training by the end of the year.
Calum Chambers is back in full training following his long-term knee injury and the club say he is "progressing well towards full match fitness".
Pablo Mari has been doing some light ball work as part of his return from an ankle injury.
He is aiming to be back in full training within the next 10 days.
Smith Rowe to the fore
Elsewhere, it was also interesting to see the presence of players such as Emile Smith Rowe.
Huddersfield Town chairman Phil Hodgkinson recently revealed the Terriers were keen to take the young playmaker back on loan again this season following a promising spell at the John Smith's Stadium last term.
However, it seems Arteta sees Smith Rowe as part of his first-team plans.
Speaking in June, the Arsenal boss said: "He (Smith Rowe) is a player with very specific qualities to play in those pockets in that position as an attacking midfielder.
“I am excited to work with him. I have been talking with him and I have followed him during his spell on loan.
"I think he’s someone who can be pretty impressive. I’m pleased by what I’ve seen from him.
“The young players want to be important, they want to take the important numbers, and I like that.
"It’s a good step, and they can be important in the future, but it’s up to them to decide that.”
