Mikel Arteta has made two adjustments to his starting line-up for today's derby against Tottenham, with Jorginho stepping in as captain.
The Italian midfielder will start at the heart of the pitch, with Declan Rice suspended and Martin Odegaard sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained while playing for Norway on Monday.
Riccardo Calafiori is also unavailable after returning from Italy duty with a calf injury, the same issue ruling Oleksandr Zinchenko out of this match.
On a brighter note, Gabriel Jesus returns to the squad after a two-game absence and is named on the bench, which also includes deadline-day signings Raheem Sterling and Neto.
For Spurs, Dominic Solanke and Micky van de Ven return to the starting line-up after missing the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United two weeks ago due to injury. Brennan Johnson is also back in the team.
However, Yves Bissouma is sidelined after picking up an injury while playing for Mali, and Richarlison remains unavailable.
**Line-ups:**
- **Arsenal:** Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Jorginho, Partey, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.
**Subs:** Neto, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Kacurri, Heaven, Nwaneri, Sterling, Kabia, Jesus.
- **Tottenham:** Vicario, Porro, van de Ven, Romero, Udogie, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison, Johnson, Son, Solanke.
**Subs:** Forster, Davies, Spence, Dragusin, Sarr, Gray, Bergvall, Odobert, Werner.
