Arsenal will be hoping that the EFL Cup provides some much-needed respite from their Premier League form when they face Manchester City in the quarter-finals at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
Mikel Arteta's side lost again at the weekend, going down 2-1 to Everton at Goodison Park to make it now seven Premier League games without a win and only two points from a possible 21 in that time.
The under-fire Spaniard will be hoping for a favour from another of his former clubs here, but they take on a Man City team that has dominated this competition in recent years.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Thomas Partey returned ahead of schedule from his last injury, but that may have proven to be a mistake with the summer signing quickly pulling up again in the North London derby and he will once again be absent for this match.
