The striker injured his hamstring on Tuesday in the Champions League when the Gunners beat Sevilla.
Jesus was due to have a scan on Thursday and manager Mikel Arteta will update fans on his fitness on Friday afternoon during his pre-match press conference.
Arteta is unlikely to risk Jesus if there are any fitness fears over him, with Arsenal facing a trip to Newcastle next week.
Eddie Nketiah would most likely come in for Jesus, although Arteta could also turn to Leandro Trossard.
There may well be changes in defence and Takehiro Tomiyasu could drop out, even after he shone in Sevilla on Tuesday.
Arsenal should have plenty of the ball on Saturday at Emirates Stadium and, as such, Oleksandr Zinchenko may come in at left-back.
Likewise in midfield, Jorginho could drop out given Arsenal’s expected dominance. There will be no need for Arteta to play both Jorginho and Declan Rice, with Kai Havertz someone who may get a start.
An injury is set to keep Thomas Partey on the sidelines.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
Injuries: Timber
Doubts: Jesus, Partey
Date and time: 3pm, Saturday October 28, 2023
