Arsenal will again be without the services of a number of first-team players for Saturday's Premier League clash with the champions Manchester City in North London.
Sead Kolasinac is again unavailable for selection through injury, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still not involved with the first team at the Emirates Stadium due to disciplinary issues.
Calum Chambers, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Cedric Soares, Ainsley Maitland-Niles are also out following positive coronavirus tests, but the home side have not reported any fresh fitness concerns.
There could be just the one change from the side that started the five-goal success over Norwich City last time out, with Emile Smith Rowe potentially coming in for Gabriel Martinelli.
Alexandre Lacazette's future at the club remains unclear, but the Frenchman is again expected to lead the line for the Gunners, while Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are also certain starters.
Ben White played at right-back against Norwich due to Arsenal's absentees, and the big-money summer arrival could again operate in that area of the field against the Citizens.
Nicolas Pepe, Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga are among the options for change, but head coach Mikel Arteta, who will not be on the touchline following a positive coronavirus test, is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack for this match.
Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Lacazette
