"Arteta was keen to emphasise the idea that there would not be a major drop-off in quality if Kepa did start, which could be a hint that he will get the nod."
"We have another training session tomorrow so the ones that are in contention, hopefully they can give us good news."
"Odegaard is unlikely to start, but Timber could come straight back into the starting lineup."
"Gyokeres could be a threat off the bench as space opens up late in the match, with Havertz potentially the man to start from the off."
Kepa Arrizabalaga has played every match in the competition, but David Raya could be considered for the starting line-up. Arteta believes there is no significant drop in quality between the two keepers. Martin Odegaard is in contention to return after a knee injury, while Jurrien Timber's participation will be decided after training. Viktor Gyokeres impressed recently, but Kai Havertz is fit and may start. The predicted Arsenal XI includes Kepa, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Eze, Trossard, and Havertz.
