Arsenal's former Leeds loanee Ben White missed Sunday's 2-1 victory at West Ham United due to a hamstring injury picked up in the previous weekend's 3-1 triumph at home to Manchester United.
Arteta, though, has revealed that the England international centre-back is now in contention to face his former loan side in Sunday's showdown at the Emirates for which the Gunners boss has no new injuries.

"Ben White is still in contention," said Arteta at Friday's pre-match press conference, as quoted by football.london.
"He needs to train tomorrow. For the rest, no news. Everyone should be ok."
Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney are both out for the season, Tierney having undergone knee surgery and Partey injuring himself in last month's 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
