Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is expected to name a strong lineup for Monday's all-Premier League FA Cup clash at Bournemouth.
With the Gunners languishing 10 points behind the Champions League places, FA Cup glory would represent a positive start to Arteta's managerial career after he replaced sacked Unai Emery last month.
So the former Arsenal skipper is unlikely to take too many chances against their Premier League opponents, even with Bournemouth stuck in the relegation zone and embroild in a battle for survival in the top flight.
Defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos should return after missing the last two games with illness.
The centre-back is back in training again and will help fill the void left by David Luiz, who was sent off during the 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea last Tuesday and will now serve a one-match suspension.
Sokratis is likely to line up alongside Shkodran Mustafi at the heart of the defence.
Forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not available as he serves out a three-match ban following his red card at Crystal Palace.
So, exciting Brazilian teenager Gabriel Martinelli looks set to continue in the side after some impressive performances this season.
Defenders Calum Chambers (knee), Kieran Tierney (shoulder) and Sead Kolasinac (thigh) plus forward Reiss Nelson (hamstring) remain unavailable.
Bournemouth will welcome back defender Steve Cook from suspension.
Centre-back Cook missed the midweek Premier League win over Brighton due to a one-match ban following his dismissal at Norwich.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe confirmed a couple of unnamed members of his squad were struggling with injuries and would be assessed ahead of the game.
The south-coast club remain without a host of long-term absentees including left-back Charlie Daniels, defender Chris Mepham and midfielder David Brooks, while forward Joshua King is not expected to return.
Arsenal (probable): Martinez; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Mustafi, Saka; Guendouzi, Xhaka; Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli; Lacazette.
