Arsenal are without Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey for the first leg of their Europa League round of 32 clash with BATE Borisov.
Neither player travelled to Belarus, with Ozil still feeling the effects of illness and Ramsey missing training during the week with a knee complaint. Granit Xhaka (groin) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (illness) are back but Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Danny Welbeck, Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding remain sidelined.
Bate’s team includes former Arsenal charmer Aleksandr Hleb. As you probably know already, future former Arsenal charmer Mesut Ozil has not travelled with the squad. Unai Emery makes two changes from the team that beat Huddersfield at the weekend: Petr Cech and Granit Xhaka come in for Bernd Leno and Lucas Torreira.
Bate Borisov (4-3-3) Scherbitski; Rios, Volkov, Filipenko, Filipovic; Baga, Dragun, Hleb; Skavysh, Milic, Stasevich.
Substitutes: Chichkan, Yablonski, Berezkin, Dubajic, Simovic, Moukam, Bessmertny.
Arsenal (3-4-2-1) Cech; Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Kolasinac; Mkhitaryan, Iwobi; Lacazette.
Substitutes: Leno, Elneny, Torreira, Lichtsteiner, Aubameyang, Suarez, Nketiah.
