Arsenal
Arsenal's six-goal thrashing of Sheffield United saw Gabriel Martinelli sustain a nasty cut to his foot, and having reportedly been seen at the Emirates on crutches over the weekend, the Brazilian's chances of recovering in time for Tuesday have ostensibly decreased.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (knock) remains a major doubt too, while Jurrien Timber is still a number of weeks away from making his comeback from an ACL injury, but the Gunners were boosted by Oleksandr Zinchenko's return from a calf concern against Brentford.
David Raya watched on helplessly during the clash with his parent club but is now eligible to reclaim his place in goal from Aaron Ramsdale, who was guilty of a first-half howler for Brentford's equaliser but redeemed himself with a pair of fine second-half stops.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Jesus
Porto
Regarding Porto's availability, left-back Wendell has recovered from the blow which saw him substituted towards the end of the first leg, but fellow defenders Zaidu Sanusi and Ivan Marcano are both on the long road to recovery from ACL problems.
Gabriel Veron is also nursing an Achilles issue, but Porto fans can rejoice in one piece of good news on the injury front, as star striker Mehdi Taremi is expected to be involved after missing the first leg with a thigh concern.
Twenty-one-goal striker Evanilson is not droppable, though, so Francisco Conceicao might have to be sacrificed to accommodate Taremi's return, and the Porto defence will once again be marshalled by the veteran Pepe, still going strong at 41 years of age.
Porto possible starting lineup:
Costa; Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell; Varela, Gonzalez; Conceicao, Pepe, Galeno; Evanilson
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Porto (Arsenal win 2-1 on aggregate)
