Ahead of welcoming Sunderland to the Emirates in their penultimate Premier League game, the Gunners stepped up their preparations following the weekends 4-1 win.

However, Laurent Koscielny and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were both missing from the session and are now facing a race to be fit in time for the FA Cup final.

Arsene Wenger confirmed that Alexis Sanchez was suffering a thigh problem still, but luckily the Chilean magician managed to get back out on to the training pitches.

Arsenal are expected to make a few changes from their victory over Stoke City, having played three games in the space of seven days last week.
