Leandro Trossard is also fit and starts in a team that is unchanged from the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Thomas Partey looks set for another outing at right-back, with Jakub Kiwior at left-back.

Granit Xhaka starts in what could be his final appearance for Arsenal.

Reiss Nelson is fit enough for the bench having also shaken off an injury.

“We had some issues this week - well, in the last few weeks - as you’ve noticed, some players were unable to play and to participate in the games, with Reiss [Nelson,]” said Arteta on Friday.

“We have a little issue with Bukayo, which has been going on, and with Leo [Trossard]. The rest I think are going to be fine.”

Arsenal are without Gabriel Martinelli (ankle), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) and William Saliba (back).

Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu (both knee) remain long-term absentees.

Arsenal confirmed XI: Ramsdale, Partey, White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Jorginho, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Trossard, Jesus

Subs: Turney, Tierney, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Holding, Vieira, Nelson, Bandeira, Walter
