- Alexis Sanchez is a doubt with a groin problem suffered in the 4-1 win at Stoke and may not be risked, while Laurent Koscielny and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain will also be assessed.
- Santi Cazorla is a long-term absentee, but Kieran Gibbs is fit to play and should start.
- Danny Welbeck could start in behind Olivier Giroud in attack, while Aaron Ramsey is also set to come into the side.
- Victor Anichebe and Jason Denayer were both forced off in the 2-0 defeat to Swansea at the weekend and will be assessed closer to kick off.
- Steven Pienaar and Lee Cattermole are doubts here, though the latter could start in place of Denayer in the middle of the park.
- David Moyes is without Paddy McNair, Duncan Watmore, Jan Kirchhoff and Bryan Oviedo due to injury.
