    Arsenal
    • Gabriel Martinelli was fit enough for the bench against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, though with the Brazilian a booking away from a quarter-final ban, Mikel Arteta may not risk the winger here.
    • Martinelli's return means Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka are the only players missing for Arsenal this week, however the latter is close to a return.
    • With a commanding advantage, Arteta is likely to rotate some key personnel for this one.
    • Ben White, Jakub Kiwior, Jorginho and Kieran Tierney are among those who could come into the XI.
    PSV Eindhoven
    • Lucas Perez is ineligible to face his former side having missed out on PSV's Champions League squad registration.
    • Esmir Bajraktarevic, Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi all miss the second leg meeting with Arsenal due to injury.
    • Peter Bosz may make a couple of changes from last week's mauling in Eindhoven, with Johan Bakayoko, Joey Veerman, Armando Obispo and Mauro Junior potentially coming into the side as PSV look to save face.
