Mikel Arteta will make a late decision on several players for Arsenal's massive clash with Manchester City this weekend.
Sunday's showdown at the Etihad Stadium is likely to have huge ramifications on the Premier League title race as the Gunners attempt to reclaim some momentum.
Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka, who has failed to recover from an Achilles injury in time to feature.
Noni Madueke is a doubt with the knee issue that forced him off in midweek against Sporting, with Arteta leaving it to the last minute to make a call.
“We have another training session tomorrow,” Arteta said on Madueke's fitness at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
“It didn't look that bad after the game, he was quite positive. He’s a player that pushes through pain.
"I'm hopeful that he can be available but we have to wait and see if he is able to train tomorrow.”
Arsenal hope that Madueke will be available, though Arteta has indicated he would be willing to throw Max Dowman into the lion's den if required.
Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori also still have to prove their fitness after injury problems of their own.
"We will try again," Arteta said on Friday. "Some players are quite close. The turnaround is short. We will try tomorrow to push everybody."
Arteta could opt to bring Kai Havertz into his starting lineup to help Arsenal hold the ball and get up the pitch.
Eberechi Eze is likely to continue at No10, while Arteta must decide between Ben White or Cristhian Mosquera, who impressed on Wednesday night, at right-back. Mikel Merino remains out, along with Saka.
