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:
