Brighton
Brighton are already confirmed to be without Adam Webster until after the international break, while Steven Alzate and ex-Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck both had to come off against Palace and are unlikely to feature.
However, there is hope that midfield lynchpin Yves Bissouma - reportedly a target for Arsenal over the summer - will be fit enough to take part, while Enock Mwepu could also shake off a groin issue in time.
Aaron Connolly and Alexis Mac Allister will battle it out to support Maupay should Welbeck not make the cut, while Veltman should keep his spot at right-back over Tariq Lamptey following a stellar display last time out.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Dunk, Duffy, Burn; Veltman, Bissouma, Gross, Cucurella; Trossard, Connolly; Maupay
Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League form: WLWWWD
Brighton & Hove Albion form (all competitions): WLWWWD
Arsenal
Arsenal welcomed Granit Xhaka back from suspension for the visit of Tottenham, but the midfielder suffered a 'significant' knee injury late on and is now facing approximately three months on the sidelines.
Albert Sambi Lokonga is the most likely candidate to fill in alongside Thomas Partey for the remainder of the calendar year, but Arteta otherwise has a clean bill of health and has no reason to alter a winning formula.
Aaron Ramsdale produced a magnificent fingertip save in the dying embers last weekend to justify Arteta's faith in him, while Aubameyang appears to have found his stride with five goals from his last five in all tournaments.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Lokonga, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Aubameyang
Arsenal Premier League form: LLLWWW
Arsenal form (all competitions): WLWWWW
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 0-1 Arsenal
