Mikel Arteta has a big decision to make with his goalkeeper for Arsenal's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
Kepa Arrizabalaga has played every match in the competition so far, though Arteta could consider bringing first-choice David Raya into the starting line-up for the Wembley showdown on Sunday.
Arteta was keen to emphasise the idea that there would not be a major drop-off in quality if Kepa did start, which could be a hint that he will get the nod.
"With the quality of the keepers that we have right now, they are both Internationals, they play at the highest level, higher clubs and they have the experience to deal with any kind of situation," Arteta said.
Martin Odegaard could make his return to the squad. The Arsenal captain has been out for a month with a knee injury, but is in contention to play some part at Wembley on Sunday.
As with Jurrien Timber, who missed the midweek win over Bayer Leverkusen, a final decision will be made after Arsenal's training session the day before the match.
"We have another training session tomorrow so the ones that are in contention, hopefully they can give us good news," Arteta said.
"Let's see if they can make it."
Odegaard is unlikely to start, but Timber could come straight back into the starting lineup. He has been named in the Netherlands' squad for the upcoming international break.
Up front, Viktor Gyokeres impressed on Tuesday night against Leverkusen but Kai Havertz is now fully fit and an option to lead the line.
Gyokeres could be a threat off the bench as space opens up late in the match, with Havertz potentially the man to start from the off.
