Arsenal take on Rennes in the first leg of our Europa League last-16 tie in France this evening.

Mesut Ozil has been recalled to the starting eleven with Aaron Ramsey making way. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts up front as he replaces the Alexandre Lacazette – who serves the second of his three-game ban.

Petr Cech replaces Bernd Leno in goal while Unai Emery has decided to stick with Shkodran Mustafi at right-back meaning Laurent Koscielny continues alongside Sokratis is a back four with Nacho Monreal preferred to Sead Kolasinac on the left.
