Arsenal will make last-minute decisions on the availability of captain Martin Odegaard and winger Bukayo Saka for their Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Both players, along with Ben White, were absent from Arsenal's midweek Champions League win and have not yet trained this week.
Manager Mikel Arteta stated that any chance of them playing would depend on their participation in Saturday’s training session.
Arteta also addressed Myles Lewis-Skelly's mock celebration of Erling Haaland from a previous match, indicating that his players have learned from the incident.
The fixture at the Emirates has become increasingly hostile in recent seasons, marked by past incidents such as Haaland's 'stay humble' comment and Lewis-Skelly's imitation.
