Arsenal are back in Europa League action this evening as they host PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium.

This game was originally scheduled for September but the passing of Queen Elizabeth II resulted in the game being postponed.

Arsenal will now play that game tonight having accepted that their game with Manchester City will now be played in 2023.

Mikel Arteta has made a few changes but kept a strong side for a tough challenge against PSV.

Matt Turner comes into the side for another Europa League start, replacing Aaron Ramsdale between the sticks.

Takehiro Tomiyasu switches to right back with Kieran Tierney on the left whilst Rob Holding comes in to partner Gabriel Magalhaes.

Albert Sambi Lokonga will feature in front of the back four with Granit Xhaka and Fabio Vieira further ahead in midfield.

Bukayo Saka features on the right flank as usual but it looks like Gabriel Jesus will be coming in from the left flank tonight having been given a surprise start.

Eddie Nketiah then leads the line with Gabriel Martinelli only fit for the bench.

Martinelli is joined by fellow substitutes Ramsdale, Karl Hein, Ben White, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, Cedric Soares, Reiss Nelson, Marquinhos, Cirjan Catalin and Khayon Edwards.
