Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has ruled out any potential injuries for Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney after they were substituted against Burnley.
The duo were subbed off during the backend of the 1-0 win at Turf Moor. There were initial suggestions that they may have suffered injuries.
However, Arteta has dismissed the speculation by citing that the pair were brought off in the second half as they were struggling with cramps.
The Gunners host AFC Wimbledon in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. They are hot favourites to secure a comfortable win.
Arteta is expected to ring in the changes for the League Cup tie. He is expected to rest Partey, Tierney as well as several other key players.
Bernd Leno, Rob Holding, Pablo Mari, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Alexandre Lacazette are expected to feature in midweek.
There could also be starts for Cedric Soares, Nuno Tavares, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli, who was an unused substitute at Burnley.
