Mikel Arteta has made three changes to his side for today’s meeting with Fulham, with Eddie Nketiah given the chance to lead the line.
Our joint-top Premier League scorer this season with five goals is given the nod over Gabriel Jesus, while Jakub Kiwior is also handed a start with Oleksandr Zinchenko missing out with a slight calf injury.
After missing the game against West Ham United on Thursday through suspension, Kai Havertz is back with Leandro Trossard returning to the bench, where he is joined by Takehiro Tomiyasu who has recovered from his own calf injury.
Marco Silva has also made three changes to his side, with former Gunner Willian overcoming the hamstring issue that has seen him miss their last three league games - all of which they lost.
Raul Jimenez also returns following the completion of his suspension, which means Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz drop the bench to accommodate the duo. Meanwhile, Timothy Casagne is preferred to Kenny Tete at right-back.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson, Cairney, Palhinha, De Cordova-Reid, Willian, Iwobi, Jimenez.
Subs: Rodak, Tete, Ballo-Torre, Diop, Lukic, Reed, Pereira, Wilson, Muniz.
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah.
Subs: Ramsdale, Cedric, Tomiyasu, Elneny, Jorginho, Smith Rowe, Trossard, Nelson, Jesus.
