Arsenal continued their warm weather training in Dubai on Saturday, with one star involved after a long-term injury.
The Gunners are not involved in the FA Cup this weekend having been knocked out in the third round by Manchester United last month.
Mikel Arteta has made the most of the rare free schedule by taking his men for a training camp in Dubai to nourish and prepare them for the business end of the campaign.
Last season the foreign jaunt had a transformative effect as the Gunners went on to win 16 of their next 18 games after just one win in seven beforehand.
Arteta knows he needs a similar rejuvenation to catch Liverpool, who are six points and a game in hand ahead of them, with a blockbuster clash lined up on May 10.
The Gunners departed for Dubai on Thursday and held their training session the next day.
