Chelsea ended a three-match winless run with a 5-1 FA Cup victory at Charlton, where new boss Liam Rosenior selected fringe players, but he is likely to pick a stronger side for this tie with Estevao, Enzo Fernandez, Liam Delap, Wesley Fofana and Pedro Neto all expected to return.

Levi Colwill is a long-term absentee, Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia remain too soon to return, Malo Gusto is a doubt and Marc Cucurella is suspended. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta faces a selection dilemma in attack, with Viktor Gyokeres under fire for recent performances; Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are back from injury but Gyokeres is expected to start after being an unused substitute in the FA Cup.
