Unai Emery has made wholesale changes to the side that drew against Liverpool as Arsenal prepare to take on Sporting Lisbon in a UEFA Europa League tie.

Rob Holding and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are the only players who have kept their places from the big league game this past weekend. The big names returning to the starting lineup include Petr Cech and Aaron Ramsey, while the likes of Sead Kolasinac, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lucas Torreira drop down to the bench.

Meanwhile, Carl Jenkinson and Emile Smith Rowe get another opportunity to impress. The likes of Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Alex Iwobi and Danny Welbeck return as well.
