Arsenal
Already working without a trio of known absentees in Thomas Partey (groin), Jurrien Timber and Mohamed Elneny (both knee), Arsenal suffered another untimely blow at the weekend, as Gabriel Martinelli tweaked his hamstring while running through to score a goal which was ultimately disallowed.
The Brazilian has been ruled out of this one, so Trossard will expect to take his place in the XI owing to his match-winning cameo at Goodison Park, where David Raya was also introduced in between the sticks in place of Aaron Ramsdale, but Arteta has suggested that he will continue to chop and change his goalkeepers as the season progresses.
It is anybody's guess as to who will act as the last line of defence for the Gunners this week, and Arteta may also be tempted to bring Gabriel Jesus into the fray for his first start of the season, as Eddie Nketiah struggled to get into the game at Everton.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Vieira; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
PSV
In strikingly similar fashion, PSV were also dealt a concern with one of their key attackers at the weekend, as winger Noa Lang was forced off the field 11 minutes into the second half against NEC but has boarded the plane for the trip to England.
Should Lang fail to make the first XI, though, Bosz has a ready-made replacement in Hirving Lozano, who made his second debut for PSV off the bench at the weekend, but defensive trio Armando Obispo, Fredrik Oppegard and Mauro Junior are all confined to the treatment room.
PSV addressed their ongoing rearguard concerns by striking a loan deal for Southampton's Armel Bella-Kotchap, who should be named in the first XI at the Emirates, while captain Luuk de Jong has already come up with 14 goal contributions in just nine games this term - nine of his own and five assists.
PSV Eindhoven possible starting lineup:
Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Bella-Kotchap, Dest; Schouten, Veerman; Bakayoko, Saibari, Lozano; De Jong
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 PSV Eindhoven
