The Gunners returned to winning ways on Wednesday night with a 6-0 win in the Carabao Cup over West Brom, but they return to Premier League action against Manchester City tomorrow hoping to prevent a third loss in a row in the competition.
Off the pitch, the last few days of the summer transfer window could be very important for Arsenal.
Following on from Lucas Torreira’s move to Fiorentina, a number of players in Mikel Arteta's squad are still being linked with a transfer away from the Emirates before the window closes, whilst Edu is still on the lookout for some potential new signings.
The likes of Kieran Trippier and Houssem Aouar are among names linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but there could well be some twist and turns before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline.
Stay tuned throughout the day so you don't miss a single development.

Bissouma update
Arsenal have asked Brighton how much it would cost to sign midfielder Yves Bissouma, according to journalist Duncan Castles.
football.london reported in January this year that the Gunners' interest in the Mali international was genuine and he would prefer a move to the Emirates Stadium over any other Premier League club.
Now, talking to the Transfer Window Podcast, Castles said: "My information is that there are inquiries from Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal as to how much it would cost to sign him."

Trippier to snub Arsenal
According to Eurosport, Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier would rather move to Manchester United than Arsenal.

However, Trippier is said to prefer a move to Manchester.
Bissouma blow
Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Brighton star Yves Bissouma, with Manchester United reportedly interested.
Transfer expert Duncan Castles told the Transfer Window podcast that the Red Devils is one of the midfielders that United are keen on signing this month.
Mbappe imminent
We start with a few bits from yesterday, including this huge news regarding the future of PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.
