Arsenal take on BATE Borisov at the Emirates this evening in the second leg of our Europa League last-32 clash.

Unai Emery has recalled Mesut Ozil to the starting eleven with the German playmaker lining-up alongside Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in attack. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads the line up front in the absence of the suspended Alexandre Lacazette.

Sokratis is only named on the bench with Shkodran Mustafi starting alongside Laurent Koscielny in defence. Nacho Monreal is preferred to Sead Kolasinac at left-back while Stephan Lichtsteiner also comes in at right-back.
