It is a rare weekend without any action for Arsenal, because Mikel Arteta and Co have a week of respite to regroup.
There are seven days until the Gunners compete against Leicester City in the Premier League and as a result, the North London side wants to escape the ruthlessness of the football calendar. Arsenal trains Saka and Ben White in Dubai and Bukayo, while they try to send their season back on the race after they have been beaten out of the Carabao Cup.
The Side of Arteta is still contrary to the success of Premier League and Champions League and will hope that the visit to the VAE will result in a similar reaction until 12 months ago. On that occasion they returned to include an eight-game extraction streak in the competition and scored 33 goals and only gave four.

Why Arsenal will not win the Premier League
Robbie Fowler does not believe that Arsenal will win the Premier League with Kai Havertz who leads their front line. The Germany International has been the subject of a lot of debate in the midst of the Gunners failure to land an out-and-out striker.
Speaking on the line -he said: “If I am honest, he (Havertz) is not my cup of tea. I think he's okay, but if you are a team that has real ambitions to do Premier competitions and champion competitions Winning, then I think you need someone better than Kai Havertz who plays in that focal pointed role.
“He will do the work, but I don't think he was as consistent as he would have wanted. I just think there are better players.”
