PRVWRaheem Sterling could get his first start for the Gunners after the poor performances of Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli in the previous Champions League game, although it would be expected that Leandro Trossard would start in this one as he is a step up the pecking order.
-
PRVWKyle Walker will have the difficult task of keeping Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka at bay.
