Arsenal's final home game before Christmas is a big one.
They face reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and can move to within seven points of Pep Guardiola's side with victory in the day's late kick-off.
Speaking of the Spaniard, he has somewhat of a selection dilemma on his hands ahead of the game.
Two players who will miss the game are John Stones and Sergio Aguero.
This was confirmed by Guardiola during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.
"He’s injured, I don’t know when he’s back," Guardiola told reporters when asked for an update on Stones after he limped off during last weekend's Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium. "Sergio is out as well, he’s still not training."
Meanwhile, David Silva is a doubt.
"He's not fit, on Thursday and Friday he couldn’t train, then we’ll see tomorrow," Guardiola added. "It was a kick on the leg that was painful, not a big issue.
"He [Foden] could be ready, Gundo can play there and Kevin [De Bruyne] didn’t play in Zagreb, Bernardo can play there too."
Silva could join two long-term Man City injury casualties as well as Aguero and Stones who won't feature against the Gunners.
This list includes Leroy Sane, who suffered a serious knee injury in the Community Shield win over Liverpool back in August, and isn't expected to play again this year.
The same goes for defender Aymeric Laporte who is targeting a return to action in 2020.
There is at least one bit of good news for Guardiola as Oleksandr Zinchenko will be in contention to make his first Premier League appearance since the 2-0 home defeat by Wolves at the start of October.
The Ukraine international has been sidelined after undergoing knee surgery which caused him to miss City's games against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
However, he made a return to action on Wednesday evening and played the final 24 minutes of City's win over Zagreb.
