Arsenal were thumped 4-0 by QPR in a behind closed doors friendly on Thursday in a bruising defeat without some of their headline stars.
The Gunners are currently without Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka - who has since left the side with injury - who are on England duty, while the likes of William Saliba, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kai Havertz are also unavailable, along with seven others.
Mikel Arteta and Co have had just over a week of preparation time ahead of next Sunday's huge clash with Manchester City in what could be a title-deciding match at the Etihad.
