Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Standard Liege

Arsenal will head into Thursday's meeting with Standard Liege in the Europa League hoping to build on the club's first win under interim coach Freddie Ljungberg.

Following a run of nine games without a victory, the Gunners produced a strong second-half performance to beat West Ham United 3-1.

They will now look to claim their first away win of the Ljungberg era against a Standard side that lost 4-0 at the Emirates in October.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injuries and suspensions ahead of this fixture.
