Team news: Captain Cesc Fabregas is still out, while goalkeeper Almunia is absent through injury - leaving the manager without the difficult task of deciding whether to drop him on merit.
Lukasz Fabianski is set to come in between the sticks, and all eyes will be on him like a hawk after he put in a poor show last time he was selected.
Thomas Vermaelen has been sidelined since early September with an Achilles problem, while Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott are not expected to make a comeback until mid-October.
Abou Diaby returned against the Baggies and could retain his place, while Jack Wilshere may come into the starting line-up after coming on as a substitute on Saturday.
Nicklas Bendtner has not played since the World Cup with a groin injury while Aaron Ramsey and Emmanuel Frimpong are long-term absentees.
Partizan's 12-match winning run in the league came to an end on Friday with a 0-0 stalemate against FK Spartak Zlatibor Voda, but manager Aleksandar Stanojevic rested Mladen Krstajic, Marko Jovanovic and Radosav Petrovic.
Right-back Aleksandar Miljkovic has been ruled out of the Gunners game after picking up an ankle injury in training.
Meanwhile, Krstajic broke his nose earlier in the month and may continue to wear a protective face mask.
Team news:
Partizan: Stojkovic| Stevanovic, Jovanovic, Krstajic, Lazevski | Tomic, Medo, Petrovic, Ilic | Boya, Cleo
Subs: Iliev, Kizito, Smiljanic, Zivkovic, Savic, Bogunovic, Stankovic
