Team News
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny will return from a one-match domestic suspension for Sunday's Premier League clash against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

Midfielder Mathieu Flamini is likely to go straight into the squad having rejoined his old club this week on a free transfer from AC Milan, as Aaron Ramsey has recovered from a groin problem, but forward Lukas Podolski is set for up to three months out with a torn hamstring.

Defender Thomas Vermaelen and midfielder Mikel Arteta continue their rehabilitation, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby.

Meanwhile, Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is a doubt with a foot injury.

Defender Benoît Assou-Ekotto and striker Emmanuel Adebayor will not feature as they are not fully fit, while star forward Gareth Bale will also miss the game as he edges closer to a move to Real Madrid.

New defender Vlad Chiriches is unlikely to feature while striker Jermain Defoe and midfielder Lewis Holtby are pushing for starts after impressing in Tottenham's 3-0 win over Dinamo Tbilisi.
