Confirmed teams: Valencia vs Arsenal: Ozil & Aubameyang start for Gunners
Arsenal take on Valencia at the Mestalla this evening in the second leg of our Europa League semi-final.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac occupy the wing-back positions with Lucas Torreira alongside Granit Xhaka in the middle of the park. Mesut Ozil starts in attack as he supports Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi are named on the bench along with Eddie Nketiah and Matteo Guendouzi.
These are the teams:
Valencia
Neto, Piccini, Paulista, Garay, Gayà, Wass, Parejo, Coquelin, Guedes, Gameiro, Rodrigo.
Subs: Domenech, Roncaglia, Soler, Diakhaby, Lato, Torres, Santi Mina
