Arsene Wenger will take charge of his final game as Arsenal manager on Sunday as the Gunners take on Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadum.
After 22 years the Frenchman will depart having won three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups and leaving behind a distinguished legacy which includes the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger's side lost their last match against Leicester City but will be hoping to send their long-serving manager out on a high by winning their first away game of 2018.
The Gunners haven't recorded a victory away from home in the current calendar year, the worst record of any team in English football, and face a Huddersfield side who are in confident form following draws against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Arsenal injuries
Laurent Koscielny will miss the World Cup with a suspected ruptured Achilles sustained in the first half of Arsenal's Europa League semi-final defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Egypt midfielder Mohamed Elneny is out with ankle ligament damage while a back problem has ruled out Mesut Ozil for the final game.
Spanish midfielder Santi Cazorla remains a long-term absentee with an Achilles injury, although he is running again and will hope to be involved in pre-season if his contract gets renewed.
Arsenal suspensions
Arsenal have Konstantinos Mavropanos suspended after his red card against Leicester.
Confirmed Arsenal starting line-up
Wenger has opted to field Sead Kolasinac at left-back while Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding start again at centre-back.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are both starting in attack, with Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey the preferred central midfield partnership.
Confirmed Arsenal line-up vs Huddersfield Town: Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey, Iwobi, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette.
Huddersfield team news
