The Brazilian has missed the Gunners' last three games after suffering an injury in the 6-0 win at Sheffield United earlier this month. Martinelli assisted and scored at Bramall Lane before being forced off in the 64th minute.

Here, football.london takes a look at whether the tricky Brazilian will be able to take part in the title clash with Pep Guardiola's side.
