Manager Unai Emery has a major injury headache in defence going into the Londer derby. Both Nachi Monreal and Sead Kolasinac have been ruled out with injuries.
Meanwhile, Maitland-Niles is also a major doubt. The Spanish tactician could deploy summer signing Sebastian Litchstiener at left-back and has even tried playing Danny Welbeck in defence this week during training.
Laurent Koscielny will miss out as he continues his recovery from a long-term calf injury.
