Arsenal starting XI: Turner; Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Lokonga, Xhaka, Vieira; Marquinhos, Nketiah, Martinelli.

Arsenal substitutes: Ramsdale, Hein, Cedric, White, Saliba, Partey, Smith, Odegaard, Cirjan, Saka, Nelson, Jesus.

Arsenal return to Europa League action tonight as they take on Bodo/Glimt at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have played just one Europa League group stage game this season, the 2-1 win at FC Zurich last month.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth meant the scheduled clash against PSV Eindhoven was cancelled, so Arsenal are only returning to European action tonight.

Mikel Arteta will be desperate for a win and he has rotated his team tonight, as expected.

Matt Turner gets the nod in goal as the summer signing replaces Aaron Ramsdale between the sticks.

Rob Holding comes in to partner Gabriel Magalhaes at the back whilst Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney – two players who were nailed-on starters last season – come in for starts tonight, replacing Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Albert Sambi Lokonga replaces Thomas Partey in a holding midfield role with Granit Xhaka and Fabio Vieira further ahead.

Marquinhos features down the right flank with Gabriel Martinelli continuing down the left, whilst Eddie Nketiah comes in to lead the Arsenal attack.

Reiss Nelson is passed fit for the bench, joining Aaron Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Cedric Soares, Ben White, William Saliba, Thomas Partey, Matt Smith, Martin Odegaard, Catalin Cirjan, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
