Arsenal have closed the gap on West Ham and Hull City to just one point in this season’s Injury League.

Sunderland remain top of the table, a position they have occupied for the majority of the season.

Arsenal’s injury problems certainly weren’t helped by having to play twice in two days.

Francis Coquelin looks set to miss the next few weeks while Laurent Kocielny will miss the weekend with cramp although he probably wouldn’t have played anyway.
