Mikel Arteta has made two changes for the trip across town to face Fulham from the team that beat Manchester United in midweek.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is out due to injury, so Jorginho comes into the game, with a defensive revamp likely. The other change sees Leandro Trossard return to the starting lineup in place of Gabriel Martinelli, who drops to the bench.
This means that there is no place available for either Gabriel or Riccardo Calafiori as both remain out due to injury.

Martin Odegaard captains the team for the 100th time in the week he became a father.
The only change to the squad from midweek is Myles Lewis-Skelly – he returns from injury and takes his place among the substitutes as Zinchenko is completely out.
The hosts have three former Gunners in the starting XI: Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe are all in the starting XI, although Reiss Nelson is not eligible to play as he is on loan from us.
They make four changes from the side that beat Brighton 3-1 in midweek, with captain Tom Cairney still suspended.
