Centre-back Gabriel is available again following illness, but captain Mikel Arteta (ankle) misses out against his former club.
Goalkeeper David Ospina (shoulder) is not available, while Jack Wilshere (fibula), forward Danny Welbeck and Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky (both knee) all continue their rehabilitation.
Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley could make his first-team return in at the Emirates Stadium.
Cleverley is being assessed by manager Roberto Martinez having played 60 minutes of an under-21 match on Tuesday in his first run-out since sustaining an ankle injury in August.
With winger Steven Pienaar also nearing a comeback after featuring in Tuesday's contest and full-back Leighton Baines among a group of other players making good progress in their rehabilitation, Martinez says he is ''very close'' to having a full squad.
