Bodoe/Glimt
Aside from midfielders Sondre Fet and Gaute Hoberg Vetti, who are absent with knee and hip injuries respectively, Knutsen should be working with a fully-fit Bodo/Glimt squad for Thursday's contest.
Bodo/Glimt found themselves 1-0 down at half time against Sandefjord before Knutsen relented and introduced Runar Espejord and Ulrik Saltnes, both of whom ought to come back into the first XI this week.
Joel Mvuka and Ola Solbakken will continue their battle for supremacy on the right-hand side of the attack, and the fresh legs of the former may be preferred from the first whistle at the Aspmyra Stadion.
Bodo/Glimt possible starting lineup:
Haikin; Sampsted, Moe, Lode, Wembangomo; Vetlesen, Berg, Saltnes; Mvuka, Espejord, Pellegrino
Arsenal
As for Arsenal, Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) and Emile Smith Rowe (groin) are still watching on from the sidelines, and Arteta will be loath to risk Oleksandr Zinchenko if he has not fully recovered from a muscular problem. Gabriel Jesus, meanwhile, has been left at home to rest.
Changes will be aplenty for the North London club, who should recall the likes of last week's goalscorers Holding, Vieira and Nketiah to the starting lineup, as well as Albert Sambi Lokonga, Marquinhos and Kieran Tierney.
Arteta's decision to start Takehiro Tomiyasu at left-back against Liverpool paid dividends, and the Japan international could now line up alongside Holding in the back four, allowing Gabriel Magalhaes a much-needed reprieve.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Turner; Cedric, Holding, Tomiyasu, Tierney; Xhaka, Lokonga; Marquinhos, Vieira, Nelson; Nketiah
Prediction: Bodo/Glimt 1-2 Arsenal
