Mikel Arteta throws Gabriel Jesus into the Arsenal team for the first time since November for tonight’s clash with Sporting Lisbon following his substitute appearance against Fulham.
Meanwhile, there’s a well-earned rest for Bukayo Saka, the 21-year-old dropping to the bench after a run of 17 consecutive starts in all competitions.
In goal, Matt Turner loses his place having started the first leg, with Aaron Ramsdale coming into the side in his place. January signing Jakub Kiwior, who made his debut in Lisbon, also drops to the bench.
It’s a strong-looking Arsenal team with plenty in reserve.
