Arsenal will turn to the Premier League this weekend in the London derby.
The Gunners will host their London rival Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening at the Emirates stadium.
For Mikel Arteta, he will be hoping to win his first North London derby as the first leg ended in a 2-0 loss at Tottenham stadium earlier in the season.
Recall that the Gunners traveled to Athens, Greece to face Olympiacos in the first leg of the round of 16 Europa League clash.
It was a 3-1 win for Arsenal as they hold a three away goals advantage going into the second leg next week.
Ahead of the north London derby, it's been learnt that the Gunners don't have any injury problem.
All players returned to training at London Colney without injuries after the Olympiacos game.
The scare for fans was Thomas Partey who was substituted on Thursday night game but it appears it was for tactical reason.
Partey was substituted for Dani Ceballos after Arsenal conceded a goal as the game was tied to 1-1 draw.
Gabriel Magalhães header and stunning long range shot from Mohamed Elneny made it 3-1 at the end of 90 minutes.
According to statement from Arsenal's website: "There are no health or injury issues to report following Thursday’s match in Athens against Olympiacos.
" All players in the men’s first-team squad are currently available for selection"
Just so you know, Arsenal are seven points behind Tottenham as the Gunners are in 10th position in the league.
