Gunners are still on an unbeaten streak since their defeat to Liverpool on the opening day of the season.

Santi Cazorla suffered an Achilles injury during the 6-0 win against Ludogorets and could not play the last four Premier League matches.
Out of those four Gunners had three draws as they dropped some valuable points and thus losing the momentum.

The 31-year old is long awaited for the return to squad as Arsenal continue their journey.

"Santi is important to our technical stability in the team, to the quality of our decision-making and to our build-up from deep midfield to the high midfield," Wenger told reporters.

"That is an important stage because it gets the ball out from the defenders. Santi is a massive player for us.

"But we have enough quality players in our side to get around that. We are good enough to find solutions despite the fact he is not there."

Arsene Wenger brought Granit Xhaka in summer transfer to give them more alternatives and depth to the squad.

Though the Swiss international has struggled to live up to high expectations at Emirates. Wenger's adamant that Swiss international has fared nicely.

"I am very happy with Granit's commitment," Wenger added.

"I think he is developing well. Maybe he has not started enough since the start of the season but he is adapting to a different league, a different way of playing.

"Overall I am happy because every day he is focused on working hard and I am confident he will get his number of games."
