Mikel Arteta must decide whether to include Mesut Ozil as Arsenal look to upset holders Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final this evening.
The club's highest earner has not featured since English football restarted last month, though declared himself fit ahead of his latest no-show in midweek.
In his absence, along with that of Matteo Guendouzi, loanee Dani Ceballos has impressed and should start at Wembley alongside Granit Xhaka.
Arteta is expected to stick with a three-man defence, and Rob Holding is hoping to keep his place after impressing against Liverpool. Shkodran Mustafi is the alternative to partner David Luiz.
Cedric Soares is cup-tied, leaving Hector Bellerin to start. Bukayo Saka should take up the opposite flank, with Kieran Tierney on the left-hand side of the back three.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be recalled after a cameo in the win over the champions. Eddie Nketiah is serving the final game of his suspension, meaning Alexandre Lacazette will keep his place. Nicolas Pepe should complete the forward line.
