On the plus side however, Valentin Barco and Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati return to the squad, having been left from the group for the midweek stalemate at Brentford to “work on their physical condition.”

Striker Joao Pedro is also expected to play against the Gunners as the Brazilian came through 90 minutes at Brentford unscathed, having missed the previous 10 matches with a thigh injury.
