Arsenal is in the midst of another injury crisis but they are actually seventh in the Premier League with 24 injuries during the current season.

The league average is 20.5 and their 24 trails Manchester City (35), Manchester United (31) and Liverpool (25).

Arsenal will be without four of Arsene Wenger's 10 outfield starters this weekend.

The total days missed this season also tells a story. At a meagre 312 days,Arsenal fall way below the Premier League average (369.6) and when directly compared to Man City (546), Liverpool (656) and Spurs (520). Even Chelsea have suffered more cumulatively days (314) with players out.

Arsenal perhaps has received more criticism than other clubs due to Wenger's decision not to sign any outfield players in the summer.
