Ray Parlour said: "Arsenal are a strong team at home and they know how important the game is. With injury doubts all over the pitch, plus suspension, you will have to see what team Arsenal put out, but foremost it’s important not to lose to your rivals in the title race.

"With Man City at home to Southampton, you don’t want to be 6 or 7 points behind them at this stage of the season.

"Saliba was unlucky to get the red card (against Bournemouth), it was a little harsh in my opinion. Without Saka and Odegaard, Arsenal failed to create many clear cut chances, so the other players have to step up now.”

"It’s a key time for Arsenal with these injuries and this is why the squad players must take their chances.”
