Unai Emery has a real headache from the defensive front. Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding will miss the rest of the season, and centre back Sokratis Papastathopoulos has also been sidelined with an ankle injury, which is set to keep him out until March.
Shkodran Mustafi has a head injury, while Laurent Koscielny is down with an illness. Both the players are set to be assessed before the match.
