Arsenal will be operating without Declan Rice, who is suspended for this tie after picking up a red card in the previous game. While Martin Odegaard suffered an ankle injury, Riccardo Calafiori had issues in his calf. It means Mikel Arteta will be short of options in the midfield.
Jorginho and Thomas Partey are likely to take load of the midfield duties with Kai Havertz operating as an attacking midfielder. The latter can contribute in both aspects and provide a bridge between the midfield and the offensive line.
Attack
Bukayo Saka remains untouchable at the right wing but Gabriel Martinelli is likely to walk into the XI replacing Leandro Trossard at the left flank. The Gunners will also be delighted with the return of Gabriel Jesus, who missed the last two games due to a groin injury.
