Mikel Arteta is expected to make two changes to the side which lost 3-1 at Manchester United earlier this month as Arsenal travel to Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Gunners are aiming to get back to winning ways as they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium in the midday kick-off, knowing they can reclaim top spot in the table with a victory. The North Londoners make the short trip to the west of the capital without the services of Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has been ruled out of action until after the international break by Ukraine.
As a result, Kieran Tierney is expected to line up at left-back, forming the defensive quartet alongside Benjamin White, Gabriel and William Saliba. Aaron Ramsdale is all but certain to continue in goal.
In midfield, Arsenal have been handed a welcome boost ahead of their clash with Brentford, who have had a promising start to the season and sit ninth in the table. Thomas Partey has been pictured in full training after missing numerous fixtures with a thigh injury, so he could form the double-pivot with Granit Xhaka in place of Albert Sambi Lokonga.
