Arsenal are without all of their right-backs after they caught Covid, therefore missing the Boxing Day clash with Norwich.

Takehiro Tomiyasu, Cedric Soares and Ainsley Maitland-Niles were all confirmed as being out with the virus before Calum Chambers joined them.

Mikel Arteta was forced to rejig his backline with Ben White in unfamiliar territory on the right side of defence.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is likely to have missed the game anyway
Ainsley Maitland-Niles joined the right-backs testing positive
Calum Chambers was among the first of them to test positive
Cedric Soares would have come in for Tomiyasu but then returned a positive Covid test

The Gunners named White in defence along with Gabriel, Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney for their trip to Carrow Road.
