Odegaard has missed the last two matches with a knee injury, while Havertz has not played since the win over Sunderland earlier this month due to a hamstring issue.
But both players could return for the north London derby, as Arsenal bid to bounce back from their midweek setback at Wolves and respond to Manchester City’s win over Newcastle on Saturday.
"We have to wait until tomorrow but there is a big possibility that they are available," Mikel Arteta said on Friday.
He has looked bright there but Arteta could opt for more with Odegaard starting, if the Arsenal captain is deemed to be fit.

Ben White and Christian Norgaard are among those pushing for more minutes but could have to settle for places on the bench again.
Riccardo Calafiori is an option to come into the side if Arteta does decide to freshen things up at left-back.
In attack, Leandro Trossard is fit and available despite going off against Wolves on Wednesday night after a blow to the head.
