Arteta stated that although many of the team's key players are fit and ready for the match, he still won't be able to count on at least two important players:

"Gabriel Magalhães is ready. Declan Rice as well. Leandro Trossard — possibly, yes.

But Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber have issues. They're not ready yet. We'll see. Hopefully, if everything goes well, they'll be fit by the weekend." Arteta said.

This season, Saka has played 42 matches for the Gunners, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists.

As for Timber, he has made 43 appearances for Arsenal this season, netting 4 goals and registering 7 assists.
