What is the team news?
Arsenal have already confirmed that £45million signing Thomas Partey will be on the treatment table until 2021 so he will not be available.
David Luiz likely won’t play following the head injury he sustained in the collision with Raul Jimenez against Wolves.
Nicolas Pepe should be in the running to start while Reiss Nelson could also get a runout.
And up front, either Alexandre Lacazette or Eddie Nketiah could feature, so Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can rest.
