Arsenal have been gifted a double injury boost ahead of their looming North London derby clash with Tottenham this weekend, with Igor Tudor made to sweat ahead of his Spurs debut in the dugout.
Top of the Premier League, still alive in the FA Cup, a title race that is very much theirs to lose. Life is good at Arsenal right now, and Mikel Arteta knows it.
Wednesday night's trip to Wolves is a fixture the Gunners simply cannot slip up in.
Wolves are a side fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table, and that alone makes Molineux a dangerous place — the kind of ground where a complacent performance can cost you dearly, even if Rob Edwards' side are practically doomed.
Arteta will have drilled that message home to his players. There is no room for looking past anyone in a title race this tight.
Viktor Gyokeres, who has found the net in three of his last four Premier League outings, will likely again lead the line in the absence of those unavailable.
Bukayo Saka is expected to return to the starting XI after being managed carefully against Wigan at the weekend, with Leandro Trossard and Noni Madueke competing for the third spot in what could be a lively attacking front three.
Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi look set to anchor the midfield, with Eberechi Eze given the creative responsibility in behind.
It is in that attacking midfield role that Arsenal have felt a nagging absence.
The man who makes this team tick — who pulls the strings, drives the tempo and lifts those around him — has not been fit. And his deputy has been missing too.
Both will sit out Wolves, but here is where the news gets significantly brighter.
Arsenal given Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz injury boost ahead of Tottenham
Speaking to the media today, Arteta confirmed that Kai Havertz and captain Martin Odegaard are both in line to return against Spurs this weekend.
The high-earning duo's possible comebacks against Tudor's men gift the Gunners a very welcome boost, with Arteta saying that he is 'hopeful' both can play a part this weekend.
"For Wolves he’s [Odegaard] not going to be fit. But for Sunday, we’re very hopeful that he can be with us," said the Spaniard.
"Kai is the other one that again, for the weekend is a possibility, so looking forward to having him in the squad."
Odegaard has been nursing a knee issue that flared during the 1-1 draw with Brentford — an injury he admitted left him "very sore" the morning after.
Havertz, meanwhile, has been sidelined with a muscle problem picked up earlier this month, with the initial prognosis suggesting a longer lay-off.
The fact both could be available at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is massive.
Sunday is not just another Premier League fixture, it is a North London derby at a ground where Spurs are now operating under new interim manager Tudor following the sacking of Thomas Frank.
Spurs are wobbling, Arsenal are flying, and a win would send an emphatic statement to every title rival still breathing down their necks.
Getting Odegaard and Havertz back for that occasion would feel like pulling two aces out of the pack at exactly the right moment.
Arteta rarely gets his timing wrong. He may be about to do it again.
