Rice has served his one-match domestic suspension after being sent off against Brighton at the end of last month.
Arsenal have been further boosted after Saka trained on Wednesday morning. The winger limped off during the win over Spurs, but that was due to cramp.
However, captain Martin Odegaard is facing an extended period out of action after damaging ligaments to his ankle.
Kieran Tierney, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu were all absent as well due to injuries.
The Gunners have a tight turnaround from their game in Italy on Thursday to their showdown with Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
As a result, Mikel Arteta may look to make changes to the team that beat Tottenham last week.
Arsenal starting XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus
Subs: Neto, Porter, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Gower, S. Oulad-M’Hand, Trossard, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji
Time and date: 8pm BST tonight on Thursday, September 19, 2024
Venue: Gewiss Stadium
