While Chelsea and Tottenham are preparing for Premier League fixtures this evening, Arsenal are getting ready to face PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League tomorrow night.
Arsenal were scheduled to play Manchester City in the Premier League this week, but the game was postponed to allow the Gunners to squeeze in their fixture against PSV, which was cancelled last month following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The game against City will be played at a later date.
Arsenal were still without Oleksandr Zinchenko, Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny for their trip to Leeds United at the weekend, and here, football.london provides an update on the injured trio ahead of the clash with PSV.

Oleksandr Zinchenko
Zinchenko suffered a knock to his knee in late August before briefly returning to action against Manchester United. He then picked up a calf injury in Arsenal training and has struggled to stay match-fit since. The Ukraine international has missed the Gunners' last three games, including yesterday in the win over Leeds.
The medical staff are monitoring the versatile defender and will be looking to not give him too much too soon concerning his physical workload.
What Arteta has said: "He [Zinchenko] had another muscle injury, and let's see how it evolves in the next few days."
Expected return date: Unknown.
Emile Smith Rowe
Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has struggled to get his season underway so far, suffering with injury from pre-season before making his return from the bench against Manchester United last month. However, he then got injured in the warm-down at Old Trafford.
The England international has since undergone surgery which is set to keep him on the sidelines for an extended period, with no return date set as of this moment.
Expected return date: Unknown.
Mohamed Elneny
Mohamed Elneny is suffering from a hamstring injury which he picked up against Fulham last month. It's likely to keep him out until the New Year, with Arteta describing the injury as "long-term".
Expected return date: Unknown.
