Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Lens, Havertz starts
Arsenal entertain Lens in tonight's Champions League group stage clash at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are currently on nine points after four group games and a victory today would guarantee round of 16 qualification with the top spot.
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya is expected to be reinstated into the line-up after missing out on the Brentford game. He was ineligible to face his parent club last weekend.
In defence, Mikel Arteta is likely to stick with the same backline of Takehiro Tomiyasu, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Ben White was training individually in yesterday's session. The Englishman has just recovered from a muscle injury and may not be risked from the starting XI.
There could be one change in the centre of the park with Kai Havertz coming in for Leandro Trossard. Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will keep their places.
Odegaard is likely to start as the most advanced of the trio. Further forward, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are nailed-on starters on the right and left wing respectively.
Gabriel Jesus is the undisputed starter up front when fit. He has three goals and one assist in the Champions League this term and will be aiming to keep up the good form.
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Havertz; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus.
