Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – David Raya – after making two great saves in the first leg, he will be hoping for a quieter evening at the Emirates.

RB – Ben White – even if Jurrien Timber was fit, he wouldn’t be ready to start, having missed a month of football, so the 28-year-old will keep his place.

CB – William Saliba – the centre-back kept Luis Suarez quiet in the first leg, and he will be looking for a repeat performance on Wednesday.

CB – Gabriel – the Brazilian has not scored since the 3rd of January, so he is overdue another goal.

LB – Piero Hincapie – the Ecuadorian was back in the matchday squad on Saturday, so he should be ready to start ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
