Arsenal starting XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.

Arsenal substitutes: Ramsdale, Hein, Partey, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Cedric, Tomiyasu, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny, Zinchenko.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal head back into Champions League action tonight as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Porto.

Arsenal lost the first leg in Portugal last month with Galeno whipping home a superb late winner.

The Gunners will back themselves to overturn that 1-0 defeat but Porto showed the kind of threat they can pose at the Estadio do Dragao.

Arsenal must hit top form tonight and they have certainly been doing that in Premier League action of late.

David Raya comes back into the Arsenal starting XI tonight having been ineligible to play against Brentford on Saturday.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are the centre backs as usual with Ben White and Jakub Kiwior in the full-back spots.

Jorginho operates as the sitting midfielder with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard further ahead of the Italian.

Kai Havertz leads the line in attack with Bukayo Saka on the right flank.

Leandro Trossard starts again on the left with Gabriel Martinelli injured and unavailable tonight.

Gabriel Jesus makes the bench for Arsenal but has been overlooked for that left-wing spot.

Aaron Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Cedric Soares, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
