Team news
Arsenal: Gabriel Martinelli brought back a surprise dress last weekend from a hamstring injury against Manchester United, but Arteta made his restraint to overload the Brazilian with minutes, given the schedule last week ahead of schedule.

He cannot play against his parent club in Chelsea loan.
Ben White could also occur after the start of Wednesday; Every place, apart from striker Arsenal, seems to have options. It may not be too long before Bukayo Saka also returns to the position. “He is getting closer,” said Arteta. “He gets up and makes very good progress.
