Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Southampton, Rice & Saka missing

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed his starting line-up for the FA Cup quarter-final against Southampton on the road tonight.

The Gunners suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the League Cup final before the international break and will be aiming to make amends.

Ahead of tonight's game, Arteta has made multiple changes to the XI.

Kepa Arrizabalaga continues in goal, but there are two changes in defence.

Ben White continues at right-back, but Myles Lewis-Skelly has been brought in for the injured Piero Hincapie on the opposite end.

Cristhian Mosquera partners Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence with William Saliba only on the bench. The Frenchman has been nursing an ankle issue.

Declan Rice has been ruled out with a minor injury, while Martin Zubimendi is only a substitute. Hence, Christian Norgaard partners the returning Martin Odegaard in central midfield.

Kai Havertz continues in the number 10 role. Max Dowman starts on the right wing, while Gabriel Martinelli has got the nod on the other end.

Gabriel Jesus leads the line for the north London giants. Viktor Gyokeres is on the bench, but Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard don't make the squad.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Southampton: Arrizabalaga; White, Mosquera, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Norgaard, Odegaard; Dowman, Havertz, Martinelli; Jesus.
