Confirmed teams: Arsenal v Valencia – Guendouzi & Ozil start for Gunners
Arsenal take on Valencia in the first leg of our Europa League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium tonight.
Nacho Monreal misses out on a place in the starting eleven as Shkodran Mustafi lines-up alongside Sokratis and Laurent Koscielny in a back three with Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles occupying the wing-back positions.
Matteo Guendouzi comes in for Lucas Torreria in midfield with Granit Xhaka keeping his place. Mesut Ozil is recalled to support Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in attack.
