Cazorla will be out of action Sunday against Liverpool due to illness, according to the Daily Mail.

Cazorla is recovering from the illness in bed, and Arsenal has not yet set a return date for the midfielder.

Cazorla picked up an assist in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace, setting up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first of two goals.

Make it four goals and an assist for Cazorla over the past six starts. The Gunners aren't exactly scorching the nets of late - they haven't hit the three-goal mark since late December - but Cazorla's been a factor more often than not.

Cazorla's left-footed strike in the 52nd minute helped Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at Southampton on Tuesday.

Cazorla now has five markers in five matches; he's been as reliable as anyone on the squad for the last three weeks.

Cazorla came off the bench and added a late goal in Friday's 4-0 victory over Coventry City in FA Cup play.

Talk about having your cake and eating it, too - Cazorla was able to rest and score in the same fixture. He now has four goals in four games, and will be relied upon as the Gunners shift back to Premier League play.

Cazorla scored two goals in the second half, one with each foot, to steer Arsenal past Fulham on Saturday.

Cazorla wasn't in the sharpest form around the turn of the new year, but he's woken up nicely of late. With Theo Walcott out for the season, Cazorla's revivial is much appreciated.

Cazorla's goal in the 31st minute started Arsenal towards a 2-0 FA Cup victory over Tottenham on Saturday.

Cazorla's game has perked up over the last two weeks, erasing memories of an extended slump - and brief benching.

Cazorla attempted five shots (two on target) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Cardiff City.

Cazorla still needs to work on a quicker release, but his middle-pitch instincts were sharp for most of this match. He's worked his way out of the doghouse.
