Arsenal are back in Champions League action tonight as Mikel Arteta’s side host French side Lens at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners lost 2-1 away at Lens earlier in the competition and will be looking to avoid a similar result tonight.
Mikel Arteta unsurprisingly goes with David Raya in goal tonight.
Aaron Ramsdale replaced Raya in goal against Brentford at the weekend with the Spaniard ineligible to face his parent club.
Raya comes back in tonight but it’s a familiar centre back pairing ahead of him with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes starting.
Takehiro Tomiyasu starts at right back with Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left side.
Declan Rice starts in holding midfield tonight with Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz ahead of him.
Gabriel Jesus leads the line in attack with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli starting out wide.
Leandro Trossard is only on the bench, joining the likes of Ben White, Eddie Nketiah and Jorginho.
Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Jakub Kiwior, Cedric Soares, Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are also on the bench for Arsenal tonight.
Arsenal starting XI: Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Odegaard. Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
Arsenal substitutes: Ramsdale, Hein, White, Nketiah, Kiwior, Cedric, Trossard, Jorginho, Nelson, Elneny, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri.
