In the Saturday Premier League London derby against Brentford, Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning in their quest for the title.
After being eliminated from the FA Cup by Manchester City and losing to Everton in Sean Dyche's first game as manager, the Gunners have displayed some vulnerability.
They still lead the Premier League by five points, but they'll be eager to break out of this recent slump to allay any unwarranted fears of a collapse.
Reiss Nelson resumed full training last week but did not play in their 1-0 loss to Everton. Emile Smith Rowe is more questionable because of a recent thigh injury.
As they recover from their respective knee surgeries, Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny are unquestionably out. However, the former is now speeding up his recovery at Arsenal's training facility.
Eddie Nketiah, who has 13 goals in his last 13 starts at the Emirates thanks to Jesus's continued absence, will once again start, and Martin Odegaard will serve as the team's captain from the number 10 position.
Despite Leandro Trossard's impressive cameo at Goodison Park and Fabio Vieira's flawless goal in September's victory over Brentford, Everton limited the effectiveness of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli by doubling up on Arsenal's wide men. However, the two shouldn't be in any danger of losing their spots here.
Even though Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey had off days on Merseyside, they should be able to contain Jorginho once more. Partey was cleared to start after recovering from a rib injury.
The backline for Oleksandr Zinchenko will continue to be composed of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Aaron Ramsdale.
Possible line up for Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
