Mikel Arteta has made two changes to the starting XI for our trip to Liverpool on Sunday.
Declan Rice misses out through injury, so he’s replaced in the lineup by Leandro Trossard, allowing Mikel Merino to drop back into his favoured midfield role.
The other change is in the backline, where Ben White comes in at right back in place of Jurrien Timber, who is among the substitutes.
Other than that it’s the side that started our Champions League game away to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, as we go looking for the three points that would clinch qualification back into that competition next season.
The hosts make six changes to the side that lost 3-1 to Chelsea last time out. Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold makes way for Connor Bradley at right back, while Ibrahima Konate replace Jarell Quansah.
Andy Robertson is back at left back while Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai return in midfield. Luis Diaz replaces Diogo Jota in attack.
