Despite recovering early enough from a thigh muscle strain, the Nigeria international watched on from the bench as the Gunners mauled Huddersfield Town 5-0 in midweek.

Iwobi who has made 12 appearances and scored once for Arsene Wenger’s side this season will be looking to play a part in this weekend’s outing billed for the Emirates Stadium.

And the midfielder has taken to the social media to herald his readiness for the crunch tie.

Fourth-placed Arsenal will be hoping to close the gap on Jose Mourinho’s men, second in the league standings and four points above them.
