Arteta deploys his ‘second team’ in defence

GK – David Raya – Arteta may decide to play Kepa, but Raya has been starting in the Champions League so far this season.

LB – Myles Lewis-Skelly – The Arsenal left back comes into the team after he was left out over the weekend in favour of Riccardo Calafiori.

CB – Cristhian Mosquera – Mosquera and Hincapie replace the usual line up of Gabriel and Saliba, to give the duo a much-needed rest.

CB – Piero Hincapie – The former Bayer Leverkusen defender has been getting more and more minutes since he returned from injury last week.

RB – Ben White – White replaces Timber, who has been one of the best full-backs in the Premier League this season.
