Arsenal appeared in high spirits as they underwent a routine training session on Friday morning in preparation for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Southampton.
The Gunners travel to St Mary's on Saturday afternoon but are yet to find out if Arsene Wenger will join them with a possible stadium ban from the Football Association looming over him.
Wenger has accepted a charge of improper conduct after he was sent from the touchline in last weekend's 2-1 win over Burnley. The Frenchman is understood to have called referee Jon Moss a 'cheat' and pushed fourth official Anthony Taylor.
