Team News: Two changes for Shakhtar visit

Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus have both been brought into the starting XI for our meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk at Emirates Stadium.

Jesus takes the captain’s armband as he comes in for his fourth start of the season, while Martinelli is also back in the starting lineup. Mikel Merino and Raheem Sterling are the two that drop out from Saturday’s side that faced Bournemouth.

David Raya therefore continues in goal behind the same back four of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori.

Thomas Partey and Declan Rice are in midfield again, with Kai Havertz starting up front.
