Fixture: Vorskla Poltava vs Arsenal
Competition: Europa League
Kick-off: 17:55 (UK time)

Arsenal have announced their starting side and substitutes to take on Ukrainian outfit Vorskla Poltava in a Europa League Group E fixture this evening. 

The Gunners have already booked their place in the last 32 of the competition and will secure top spot in the group by returning from the Ukraine with all three points.




Arsenal boss Unai Emery has opted to leave several first team players at home and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil and Lucas Torreira have not travelled.

Emery goes with Petr Cech in goal, while in defence he picks Stephan Lichtsteiner, Carl Jenkinson, Rob Holding; Ainsley Maitland-Niles starts. Matteo Guendouzi slots into midfield with Mohamed Elneny. Aaron Ramsey plays, while Eddie Nketiah has a chance to impress up top.

If Emery needs to make changes he can dip into the options on his bench, which include Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
