Arsenal are back in Europa League action tonight as they host FC Zurich at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners play the final game of their group stage campaign and will be looking to pick up another win.

A defeat at PSV Eindhoven last week means Mikel Arteta would love to hit back with three points tonight.

Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal tonight with backup Matt Turner still unavailable.

Kieran Tierney comes into the side at left back tonight, joining Ben White, Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes in the back four.

Mohamed Elneny makes his return to the starting lineup after recovering from injury.

That means Albert Sambi Lokonga is given a more advanced role tonight.

Fabio Vieira joins Lokonga in the more advanced midfield roles this evening.

Reiss Nelson is on the right flank after his superb display against Nottingham Forest and it looks like Gabriel Jesus will be on the left – or vice versa.

Eddie Nketiah starts again, leading the line for Arsenal as he usually does in the Europa League.

There is great news for Arsenal fans as Oleksandr Zinchenko makes the bench for the Gunners tonight having not played in more than a month.

Another boost comes with Bukayo Saka making the bench amid fears over the injury he sustained against Forest on Sunday.

Karl Hein, James Hillson, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Cedric Soares, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Marquinhos and Matt Smith join Zinchenko and Saka on the Arsenal bench.
