Arsenal welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tonight.
The Gunners secured a record 7-1 away win over PSV during the first leg. They are in a strong position to make the quarter-final.
Despite this, manager Mikel Arteta may not take things for granted, and we don’t anticipate more than six changes to the line-up.
Formation: 4-3-3
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has been ever-present in goal for Arsenal in Europe, barring one game where he was injured. The Spaniard was exceptional against Manchester United with three world-class saves. He is expected to start between the sticks.
The backline could see three changes. William Saliba looks poised to start, having attended the pre-match press conference alongside Arteta. Jakub Kiwior could partner him in central defence, with Gabriel Magalhaes likely to be given a breather.
Ben White could make his first start since knee surgery at right-back ahead of Jurrien Timber. There could be a swap at left-back, with Myles Lewis-Skelly replacing Riccardo Calafiori again.
Jorginho is likely to feature as the holding midfielder with Thomas Partey due a rest.
We anticipate Declan Rice will accompany Jorginho, while Ethan Nwaneri could drop into his preferred attacking midfield position. Martin Odegaard could be rested with a view to the Chelsea game.
Mikel Merino has done a brilliant job as a makeshift striker but could drop to the bench tonight. Raheem Sterling could get a rare opportunity on the left wing, with Leandro Trossard likely to lead the attack.

Gabriel Martinelli was lively on his return from injury against the Red Devils at Old Trafford. The Brazil international could make his first start since early February from the right wing.
