No Giroud again for Gunners

Arsenal will again be without suspended striker Olivier Giroud for tomorrow’s Premier League trip to relegated QPR.

Theo Walcott, who scored against Manchester United, and Lukas Podolski are both pressing for a central attacking role.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (rib) remains sidelined, while midfielder Abou Diaby (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Provisional Squad: Szczesny, Monreal, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Sagna, Cazorla, Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshere, Arteta, Podolski, Mannone, Gervinho, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Coquelin, Jenkinson.
