Arsenal could be without five players for Friday's FA Cup fourth-round clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Former Citizens attacker Gabriel Jesus is still recovering from knee surgery, while Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Mohamed Elneny (knee) and Emile Smith Rowe (thigh) are out, and Cedric Soares (knee) is a doubt.

However, only Jesus would have been in with a chance of starting this one, with Arteta surely seeing no need to disrupt a winning formula after nearly a week's rest.

The only alteration from Sunday's Premier League win over Manchester United may occur in goal, where Matt Turner - who has not done much wrong in his sporadic appearances - should feel confident of displacing Aaron Ramsdale.

Ben White was hooked at half time against the Red Devils but should continue at the back here, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes partnering up as new signing Jakub Kiwior awaits his debut.

Ex-Man City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to continue in his versatile role, as Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey form the base of the midfield as ever.

Martin Odegaard will captain the Gunners in between Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, but Leandro Trossard is not cup-tied for this one and could threaten the latter's place on the left.

Eddie Nketiah has braces to his name from the third-round win over Oxford United and Sunday's thriller with Man United, and the effervescent Englishman should lead the line once again.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Turner; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
