Arsenal starting XI: Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Odegaard, Havertz; Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
Arsenal substitutes: Ramsdale, Hein, White, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Kiwior, Cedric, Jorginho, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are back in action this evening as the Gunners visit French side Lens in the Champions League.
Arsenal opened their Champions League campaign with a comfortable 4-0 thrashing of PSV Eindhoven in North London.
The Gunners now head away from home and will hope to pick up another win against a patch Lens side.
Lens lost star duo Seko Fofana and Lois Openda over the summer and claimed just one point from their first five league games.
A draw against Sevilla and two Ligue 1 wins in a row means Lens may be turning a corner and could cause problems for Arsenal.
Arteta goes with David Raya in goal, resisting the temptation to start with Aaron Ramsdale.
Takehiro Tomiyasu starts at right back though, joining William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the back line.
Declan Rice will sit in front of the back line with Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz further forward.
Gabriel Jesus leads the line with Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard on the flanks.
That means Eddie Nketiah is only on the bench, joining Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Ben White, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Jakub Kiwior, Cedric Soares, Jorginho, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and Mohamed Elneny.
