Arsenal are not in Premier League action this weekend.

The Gunners were scheduled to take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium.

However, the Premier League has postponed matchday seven following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

A statement from the league’s official website on Friday read: “At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

“To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.”

Arsenal have a number of players out on loan overseas whose clubs will be – or have been – in action this weekend.

Let’s take a look at which senior players on the Gunners books could be playing, or have already played.

Runar Alex Runarsson

The Arsenal goalkeeper is currently on loan at Turkish Super Lig outfit Alanyaspor.

He was in league action on Friday night, helping his loan club beat Ankaragucu 2-1 at home.

Runarsson has made four league appearances for Alanyaspor, conceding five goals.

Nicolas Pepe

The Arsenal winger is currently on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Nice.

His side will be in league action on Sunday at 2pm BST as they take on Ajaccio away.

Pepe has made four appearances for Nice in all competitions, registering one goal.

Nuno Tavares

The Arsenal defender is currently on loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille.

His side will be in league action on Saturday at 8pm BST, hosting Lille.

Tavares has been superb for Marseille, making seven appearances and scoring three times.

Folarin Balogun

The Arsenal forward, like Pepe and Tavares, is currently plying his trade in Ligue 1.

Balogun has been in sensational form for Reims, with five goals and two assists from six league outings.

The “incredible” Gunners gem’s team will be in league action on Sunday, taking on Toulouse away.
