Ruben Loftus-Cheek ruptured his Achilles in the friendly against New England Revolution - ruling him out of action for around nine months. The midfielder has joined Callum Hudson-Odoi on the sidelines for the same reason. Antonio Rudiger's season was ended after he underwent surgery on his left knee meniscus while N'Golo Kante missed the last two outings and remains a major doubt for the final. Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic are the likely replacements in midfield, while Andreas Christensen should partner David Luiz at the heart of the back. Up front, Olivier Giroud should get the nod over Gonzalo Higuain for the central berth. The Frenchman is likely to be flanked by Pedro and Eden Hazard.
Outgoing midfield star Aaron Ramsey will miss out for the Gunners. Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Danny Welbeck and Denis Suarez are the other injured players. Petr Cech will start between the post in what will be the last game of his professional career, with the likes of Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Nascho Monreal protecting his goal. Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac are the likely wing-backs while Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira should form the central pair in the middle of the park. Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi are in contention to start as number ten behind the offensive duo formed by Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang while Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be unable to travel due to safety concerns.
