Arsenal will face Sheffield United on Sunday in the evening kick off at 7pm GMT.
Ahead of the game, it's been reported that Mikel Arteta will be without his captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabon international has been ruled out of the game because he is suffering from flu, according to The Athletic.
Aubameyang who has been struggling to find his goal scoring form which he displayed last season will not travel with the rest of the team.
Recall that Aubameyang came from the bench oj Thursday to assist Nicolas Pepe goal for Arsenal against Slavia Prague in the first leg of the quarter-final in the Europa League with less than 20 minutes left to play.
But Arsenal failed to clear their lines and allowed Slavia Prague grab a late equaliser from Tom Holmes header in the 90 minutes.
Just so you know, Aubameyang has managed just nine goals in 25 Premier League appearances this season.
OTHER ABSENTEES
Arsenal will be without their experienced defender David Luiz who is recuperating after undergoing a minor knee operation.
Martin Odegaard is also unavailable due to a minor injury problem as well as Emile Smith-Rowe who sustained a spring on his ankle during Thursday's game.
Kieran Tierney is expected to be out for several weeks after injury he sustained against Liverpool.
