Centre-back Calum Chambers made his long-awaited return from injury against Rapid Vienna last week, but he was not part of Arteta's squad to face Tottenham. It is likely that the Spaniard is easing Chambers back into action, so he should be involved here.

Nicolas Pepe is continuing to serve a three-match domestic ban, but he is eligible for selection in Europe.
