The Gunners are currently one point adrift of leaders Manchester City and have an excellent chance to climb to the top with the Cityzens' difficult schedule.

Ahead of the festive games, the Gunners have been handed a timely boost with both Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus fully fit after their respective issues.

Odegaard missed a few games with a hip problem last month and this was followed by another absence due to concussion. He missed three games on the bounce.

The Norwegian is now back in full training and he is expected to start in the number 10 role when Mikel Arteta 's travel to west London to face the Bees this weekend.

Alongside him, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are assured starters out wide. Leandro Trossard looks set to lead the attack after three goal contributions in the last two games.

Hence, Arteta finally has the chance to unleash his best attack.
