Arsenal take on Reading in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night and the squad prepared for the clash with a final training session on Monday morning.
Assistant manager Steve Bould took charge as Arsene Wenger faced fans and shareholders at the club's AGM.
Plenty of the squad's fringe players were hard at work with the Gunners expected to ring the changes for the game at the Emirates.
Wenger is set to rest several star names, including Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, with the team facing a run of tough fixtures in November.
