Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named his starting line-up for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid tonight.

  • Man Utd star preparing farewell video ahead of transfer
  • Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Atletico Madrid, Lewis-Skelly starts
  • The Gunners returned to winning ways with a 3-0 Premier League victory over Fulham last weekend. Unsurprisingly, Arteta has named the same starting XI to face Diego Simeone's side.

    David Raya continues in goal for the north London giants.

    The defence will comprise Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori.

    Myles Lewis-Skelly made his first Gunners start in midfield on Saturday and was brilliant with his display.

    He completed 97 percent of his passes and was one of the best players on the pitch for the Gunners.

    He has got the nod to partner Declan Rice in the centre of the park again.

    In the final third, Bukayo Saka starts on the right wing with Leandro Trossard slotting on the left.

    Eberechi Eze will operate as the attacking midfielder for the Gunners with Viktor Gyokeres upfront.

    Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Atletico: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice; Saka, Eze, Trossard; Gyokeres.
