Arsenal will again be without Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker as they look to cement their place in the top four against QPR.

The Gunners are bang in form and will be hoping to make it eight Premier League wins on the bounce when they travel to Loftus Road to take on Mark Hughes struggling outfit.

Defenders Koscielny and Mertesacker are again missing but Arsene Wenger has no fresh injury worries and is likely to stick with the same side that crushed Aston Villa 3-0 last week.

Meanwhile, Wenger says Arsenal are entering the most crucial stage of the season and has called on his players to keep their focus as they look to secure Champions League football.

"This is the period where what we do matters the most, so we just want to keep our focus on this and not worry about anybody else's results," he revealed.

"We have shown both footballing and mental qualities in recent weeks and now we need to continue our development."
