Arsenal have Kai Havertz back for today's clash with Fulham, while Takehiro Tomiyasu returns to the matchday squad but Oleksandr Zinchenko drops out and Gabriel Jesus is benched.
Havertz missed the Gunners’ 2-0 home defeat by West Ham on Thursday night due to a one-match suspension automatically incurred for collecting five yellow cards.

Before that, Havertz was the only player in the Arsenal squad to have featured in every game so far this season and he returns to the team for this afternoon's latest London derby showdown at Craven Cottage.
Manager Mikel Arteta is still without Jurrien Timber (knee) and Fabio Vieira (groin) along with Thomas Partey (thigh), but Tomiyasu is back on the bench after a calf issue.
Jesus is replaced up front by Eddie Nketiah after a wasteful display against West Ham, while Jakub Kiwior lines up at left-back with Zinchenko absent from the matchday squad completely.
