Arsenal will attempt to kickstart their Premier League season at the fourth attempt in Saturday's bottom-of-the-table clash with Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's side have gleaned zero points and zero goals from their three games so far, most recently suffering a humiliating 5-0 defeat to champions Manchester City before the international break.
The Gunners find themselves rock bottom of the rankings owing to their miserable start to the new season, but newly-promoted Norwich are also travelling to North London aiming to put their first points on the board.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
