Saliba on the bench as Gyokeres leads the attack

Saliba’s inclusion gives Arteta another defensive option after the Frenchman’s back injury. He does not start, with Konsa partnering Gabriel, but could make his return during the game. Our William Saliba injury update covers his recovery.

Gyokeres gets the nod up front, with Kai Havertz among the substitutes. Martin Odegaard is also on the bench, while Madueke and Eze provide attacking support in the starting side.

Bukayo Saka remains absent through injury. Arsenal enter the match with seven points from their opening three league-phase games, having beaten Liverpool 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.
