Arsenal are missing a number of defenders ahead of the visit of league leaders Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium.
Kieran Gibbs, Gael Clichy and Johan Djourou are all out, while centre back William Gallas is rated doubtful after picking up a number of knocks in the midweek Champions League match with Standard Liege.
Silvestre and Traore are the most likely replacements for Arsene Wenger's side.
With Robin Van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner both out, Eduardo will start upfront on his own, with support coming from Andrey Arshavin and Theo Walcott.
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has no new injury worries and is boosted by the news that midfielder Frank Lampard is fit again after a thigh problem.
Lampard is set to start, with fellow England international Joe Cole dropping to the bench.
At the back, John Terry will again be partnered by Ricardo Carvalho, with Alex being the player who misses out. Juliano Belletti may keep his place at right back in the absence of Jose Bosingwa.
