Jakub Kiwior continues in defence alongside Gabriel, while Jorginho retains his place in midfield following an impressive performance against Newcastle at St James’ Park.

Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus make up an exciting triumvirate, with Leandro Trossard, Thomas Partey and Reiss Nelson among the substitute options for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta to choose from.

Arteta’s side need a win to keep their title hopes alive, with Manchester City currently extending their lead at the top of the table after going 3-0 up against Everton at Goodison Park.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney, Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.

Subs: Turner, Holding, Waters, Partey, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Trossard, Nketiah.
