Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara are ruled out due to suspension. Tyrone Mings, Ross Barkley and Pau Torres remain sidelined. Mings will miss his 12th consecutive game, and Pau Torres his fifth, as neither is expected to return until the New Year. Barkley is likely out until February.


Harvey Elliott probably won't make the squad.

Unai Emery:

"We're going to train now, two days after playing Chelsea. I want to see how the players are for tomorrow. Of course, the players who are injured are continuing their process, and the players who are suspended won't play."
