Jakub Kiwior starts, Martinelli out and Tierney in - Arsenal predicted XI vs Dinamo Zagreb
football.london takes a look at how Mikel Arteta could line his Gunners side up for their Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb
The return to European action will come perhaps as a relief from the pressure of Premier League football. The opposition as well being 24th-placed in the table on paper allows Mikel Arteta to change up and rotate his side.
He can welcome back the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Ethan Nwaneri to the squad after they were seen in training and subsequently the manager confirmed their availability for the match. William Saliba will miss the game but positively Arteta also said he hopes he will be fit to face Manchester City next week.
There is certainly a need for the reinforcement still but there remains little sign of additions being close to completion in any way, shape or form. With that said football.london delves into who we think will start this weekend.
David Raya
It could be that Neto gets his first appearance for Arsenal but with still plenty riding on this game, it makes sense for Mikel Arteta to continue with his number one keeper.

Jurrien Timber has played a significant number of minutes since returning from his major knee surgery. Without much depth, until Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu return, this is set to continue.

Mikel Arteta was asked whether Declan Rice could be used at centre-half and he admittedly to considering the idea due to the shortages. It might therefore be possible to see it trialled.

It has been a while since Jakub Kiwior has been given an opportunity to play. Here, it is likely that the Polish international will move to give Gabriel a rest and minutes for the defender are important.

Kieran Tierney has got more minutes than perhaps many thought he would this season. Therefore it could be that with rotation the order of the day, he gets the opportunity to play on Wednesday night.
