Confirmed teams: BATE vs Arsenal: Aubameyang & Torreira on the bench
Arsenal will hope to bring home a healthy lead from the first leg of our Europa League last-32 tie with BATE Borisov this evening [5.55pm kick off].
Unai Emery has left Pierre-Emerick Auabmeyang on the bench with Alexandre Lacazette starting up front with the support of Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. It means January signing Denis Suarez must make do with a place on the bench again.

These are the line-ups:
BATE
Scherbitski, Volkov, Filipenko, Filipovic, Milic, Baga, Dragun, Skavysh, Hleb, Ríos, Stasevich.
Subs: Chichkan, Yablonski, Berezkin, Dubajic, Simovic, Moukam, Bessmertney
Arsenal
