Ramsdale, Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Tomiyasu, Xhaka, Lokonga, Martinelli, Odegaard, Nelson, Nketiah

FORMATION: 4-2-3-1

GOALKEEPING:

Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner was not available for the last two matches and he might still not be in contention so Aaron Ramsdale will likely be in goal on Thursday.

William Saliba will likely not be involved but Gabriel and Holding will play as centre backs against Zurich while Kieran Tierney, and Tomiyasu get deployed as the fullbacks of the day.

CENTRAL MIDFIELD:

Granit Xhaka and Sambi Lokonga will be paired together in the UEFA Europa League and Arteta will hope they hold the midfield well on Thursday.

ATTACKING MIDFIELD:

Gabriel Martinelli and Reiss Nelson after his impressive performances will be deployed as wingers while Martin Odegaard will play as a central attacking midfielder.

STRIKING:

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has had a lot of chances in the UEFA Europa League and so he will definitely start once again.
