Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Sporting CP, Mosquera & Eze start

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named his starting line-up for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP tonight.
The Gunners have a 1-0 lead over Sporting after the first leg and have the opportunity to make the semi-final by beating the Portuguese giants.
Ahead of the game, Arteta has made a few changes to the XI from the recent 2-1 Premier League loss to Bournemouth away from home.
David Raya continues in goal for the north London giants.
However, there are two changes to the backline. Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly drop to the bench.
Cristhian Mosquera starts from the right-back role with Piero Hincapie on the other end.
William Saliba partners Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence.
Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice continue as the central midfield pairing. However, there is a change in the final third.
Eberechi Eze has got the nod over Kai Havertz for the number 10 position.
Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli continue on the right and left wing respectively, while Viktor Gyokeres leads the line for the Gunners again.
Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Sporting CP: Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Eze, Martinelli; Gyokeres.
