Having now returned from a hamstring injury, Gabriel Martinelli must look to step up and help make a difference for Arsenal.

The Gunners have struggled to cause problems in attack all season and that issue remains as they head into the final stages of the campaign. With that being said, the Brazilian winger could bring about some much-needed improvement and attacking spark on the frontline.

Since his return from injury, Martinelli has looked lively at times but as has been the case for much of the season, his performances have been mixed. With Arsenal in desperate need of a talisman in attack, he has to step up and be that man.
