Mikel Arteta makes five changes vs Club Brugge, Gyokeres starts

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made five changes for the Champions League clash against Club Brugge on the road tonight.

The Gunners are presently top of the league phase with 15 points from five games and will be aiming to preserve their perfect record.

Ahead of the encounter, Arteta has made five changes from the last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League last weekend.

There is a surprise start for Christian Norgaard in central defence ahead of Jurrien Timber, who has been rested completely for the game.

Myles Lewis-Skelly has come in for Riccardo Calafiori at left-back despite the Italian being suspended for the league clash against Wolves.

Mikel Merino will play in midfield tonight with Declan Rice sidelined.

There is a new-look attack with Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli starting on either side of Viktor Gyokeres, who leads the line.

Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze have dropped to the bench.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Norgaard, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Merino; Madueke, Odegaard, Martinelli; Gyokeres.
