Their match at Nottingham Forest starts at 17:30 GMT.
TEAM NEWS
In December it became clear that Mikel Arteta is averse to starting Bukayo Saka three times a week. Now even back-to-back games seem to be beyond him.
Despite a break against Portsmouth last weekend, and despite the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Inter being effectively a dead rubber for the Gunners, Saka is back on the bench tonight.
That also applies Leandro Trossardof Call Maduyke And Gabriel Martinelli come in.
The other change from Wednesday’s EFL Cup semi-final first leg is the return of David Raya at the expense of the cup goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga
There is still none Piero Hincapie in the Gunners team. Cristhian Mosquera – only ruled out for “weeks” by Arteta on Tuesday – will be on the bench.
Gabriel Magalhaes starts for the fourth time in 10 days.
After wrecking his second series following their FA Cup performance against Wrexham, Sean Dyche unsurprisingly returns to his regulars tonight.
There is only one change from Gameweek 21, with Ibrahima Sangare prevent Omari Hutchinson.
