Gabriel returns for Gunners

Mikel Arteta makes three changes to the side that started last Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Fulham.

Gabriel makes his first Premier League start of the season, and he is joined in the Arsenal defence by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Thomas Partey, who had been filling in at right-back, faces a spell on the sidelines while Jakub Kiwior drops to the bench.

Up top, Eddie Nketiah is rewarded for his goal off the bench against the Cottagers with a start; he replaces Leandro Trossard.

Gabriel Jesus is back on the bench after his recent injury while Martin Odegaard captains the hosts.


Arsenal (4-3-3): 1 Ramsdale; 4 White, 2 Saliba, 6 Gabriel, 35 Zinchenko; 8 Odegaard, 41 Rice, 29 Havertz; 7 Saka, 14 Nketiah, 11 Martinelli

Subs: 22 Raya, 9 Jesus, 10 Smith Rowe, 15 Kiwior, 18 Tomiyasu, 19 Trossard, 20 Jorginho, 21 Vieira, 24 Nelson
