Team news

Arsenal injury concern is Bukayo Saka. He sustained a hip injury against Newcastle and he is a doubt for Thursday’s game.

“I am hopeful but we don’t know. It’s a really short turnaround. The player has to be comfortable playing with a little injury.” Arteta said regarding Saka’s injury.

If Saka isn’t deemed fit, Gabriel Martinelli could finally get his first start in the Premier League this season after scoring over the weekend.

Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac are ruled out of this game.

Predicted starting lineup

Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Partey, Lokonga; Martinelli, Lacazette, Smith Rowe; Aubameyang
