Arsenal team news:

The Gunners are facing a potential crisis in midfield with two of their star names being a doubt for the final.

Arsene Wenger will be sweating over the fitness of his star midfielder Aaron Ramsey. The Wales international missed the Gunners last two games and only returned to training on Wednesday.

Star playmaker Mesut Ozil is also a slight doubt after picking up an illness earlier this week. The Germany international was sidelined for Arsenal’s clash with Ostersunds on Thursday.

Meanwhile, summer signing Alexandre Lacazette is ruled out with a knee injury. The France international is sidelined for four weeks.

The north London based club Arsenal have no players suspended for this game.
