Mikel Arteta has made two changes for tonight’s Champions League game with Paris Saint-Germain, with Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino back in our line-up.
The duo are the only two players not to start in our last outing when we drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace six days ago, with Merino recovering from injury to replace the suspended Thomas Partey, while Saka is swapped with Raheem Sterling who is back on the bench.
The Hale Ender’s return is welcome, as he has scored nine goals and made six assists in 16 appearances in the Champions League, the most goal involvements for an English player in their first two seasons in the competition.
Ben White is fit enough to take his spot amongst our replacements after missing the game against the Eagles last week, while Leandro Trossard is likely to start up front after scoring three times in his last two outings.
Luis Enrique meanwhile has made no alterations to his team that suffered their first Ligue 1 defeat of the campaign against Nice on Friday at the Parc des Princes.
Having named his strongest XI for that match, the Spaniard has opted to stick with the same 11 players, which means a front three of January arrival Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, hot prospect Desire Doue and Ousmanne Dembele, who missed the previous encounter between the sides back in October but has 32 goals in 44 appearances this season.
