Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are out for Arsenal because of injuries, and Fabio Vieira is also questionable for the game. Notable preseason performers Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri should start on the bench behind new acquisition Riccardo Calafiori. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz will probably be vying for forward spots in the starting lineup, while Jorginho and Thomas Partey will fight for a berth in central midfield.
