Confirmed line-ups: Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb – Kiwior and Zinchenko start

By on January 22, 2025

Oleksander Zinchenko Arsenal

Arsenal will be hoping to book their place in the next phase of the Champions League with a win over Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The boss has freshened things up following Saturday’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Aston Villa but David Raya keeps his place between the sticks. With William Saliba not ready to return from a hamstring issue yet, Jacub Kiwior is recalled to start alongside Gabriel Magalhaes. Jurrien Timber moves to right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko is recalled to start at left-back in a rare outing.

Declan Rice is joined by Jorginho in the middle of the park so Mikel Merino and Thomas Partey are rested. Martin Odegaard captains the Gunners tonight with Ethan Nwaneri and Riccardo Calafiori back on the bench after recovering from injury.

Kai Havertz leads the line up front for Arsenal once again while Raheem Sterling is given another chance to impress on the wing. Gabriel Martinelli keeps his place so Leandro Trossard is the man to make way.

These are the teams:

Arsenal

Raya, Timber, Gabriel, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Sterling, Martinelli, Havertz

Subs: Neto, Setford, Tierney, Calafiori, Kacurri, Partey, Merino, Nwaneri, Trossard, Butler-Oyedeji, Kabia
