Arsenal's attacking line is slowly emerging from respective injuries, but they now have competition.
Despite his reputation as a midfielder, Mikel Merino has filled in as Arsenal's attacking focal point in Viktor Gyökeres' absence.

The Spain international has had no trouble whatsoever when it comes to producing in the final third.
It took Merino just 11 minutes to open the scoring against Brentford on Wednesday for his fourth goal in six appearances for the Gunners.
The goal took the 29-year-old into double figures for goals scored for the North London outfit, seven of which he scored with headers.
Will Gyökeres have competition when he returns?
