Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Chambers, Holding, Mari, Xhaka; Partey, Ceballos; Pepe, Saka, Smith Rowe; Lacazette.

Arsenal substitutes: Ryan, Hillson, Bellerin, Gabriel, Willian, Cedric, Nelson, Elneny, Nketiah, Martinelli, Balogun, Azeez.

Arsenal go with Bernd Leno between the sticks tonight as they look to advance past Slavia Prague in the Europa League.

It looks like the same back four that played against Sheffield United, with Granit Xhaka once again deployed as a left back.

Calum Chambers will feature on the right with Rob Holding and Pablo Mari in the heart of defence, whilst Calum Chambers joins Thomas Partey in the heart of midfield.

Bukayo Saka is passed fit to play as the number 10, and will be flanked by Nicolas Pepe and Emile Smith Rowe in attack.

Alexandre Lacazette leads the line, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang unavailable once again tonight.

James Hillson is a surprise inclusion on the bench, joining Mat Ryan as the goalkeeping cover behind Leno.

Hector Bellerin, Gabriel Magalhaes, Willian, Cedric Soares, Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli, Folarin Balogun and Ramon Azeez make up the rest of the bench tonight.
