Yep. Well, technically three if you want to include the CL, as Slavia Prague is away also. Based on Arteta's presser earlier, Saliba is 50-50 to make it for this and Martinelli is ruled out (though it didn't sound like a medium/long-term issue so that's good). Also, Madueke, Odegaard and Havertz have a strong possibility of being back for the NLD after the international break. That can only be good news. The more players we have available for the congested fixture list coming up, the better. Just need to navigate the next 3 games without them - which we definitely have the quality to do.
Two PL games are the key. The Slavia Prague game I would play a similar team to the one that started against Brighton in the cup. Got to say, I am very impressed with Mosquera. He's not infallible - no player is - but I feel confident with him at the back, so Saliba being out is far less of an issue than it has been in previous seasons.
I don't think that's likely with Arteta. He'll want to secure qualification to the top-8 as soon as possible. If we win in Prague, that'll be 4/4 wins from the CL league table phase and it gives us some wiggle room against Bayern (H) or Inter (A) when we play them. So I think there's next to no chance of us playing a team identical to the Carabao Cup match for a CL fixture.
