Arsenal are back in Champions League action this evening, hosting Spanish side Sevilla at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s men lost 1-0 to Newcastle United on Saturday, falling in controversial circumstances.
Arsenal must now refocus and get back to Champions League action as a win tonight would take them towards the knockout stages.
Arsenal beat Sevilla 2-1 in Spain last month and are now looking for a repeat performance.
Arteta goes with David Raya in goal, sticking with the Spaniard despite some questionable form of late.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes continue as the Arsenal centre backs tonight with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu as the full backs.
Jorginho will sit in holding midfield with Declan Rice and Kai Havertz ahead of the Italian in Arsenal’s engine room.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli feature on the flanks with Leandro Trossard given the nod in attack.
Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah both miss out through injury, meaning Amario Cozier-Duberry and Charles Sagoe Jr are on the bench.
Arsenal have confirmed that Nketiah is out with an ankle injury tonight, with Arteta preferring to use Havertz in midfield rather than up front.
Aaron Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Jakub Kiwior, Cedric Soares, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Arsenal starting XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Jorginho, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.
Arsenal substitutes: Ramsdale, Hein, Kiwior, Cedric, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny, Zinchenko, Cozier-Duberry, Sagoe Jr.
