It has been reported that Jurrien Timber is expected to return to the Arsenal squad for Saturday's game after a torrid eight months out with an ACL injury.

The Netherlands international has played twice for the Under-21s over the past two weeks and looks set to finally return to the first-team.

Timber almost certainly won't start the match but if he does make the squad, he could come on for some minutes towards the end of the 90 minutes and could even make a late impact.
