Fixture: Arsenal vs Valencia
Competition: Europa League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)
Arsenal have revealed their starting line-up and substitutes for this evening's Europa League semi-final first leg clash against Valencia at the Emirates Stadium.
With the Gunners showing inconsistent form in the Premier League, boss Unai Emery has targeted the Europa League as a route back into next season's Champions League.
Emery must make do without midfield pair Aaron Ramsey and Denis Suarez, who have been ruled out for the season through injury.
The Arsenal boss names Petr Cech in goal, while in defence he opts for a back three of Sokratis, Shkodran Mustafi and Laurent Koscielny. Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi will look to boss midfield, while Mesut Ozil aims to create for Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
If Emery needs to make any changes then he has options on his bench, including Lucas Torreira and Alex Iwobi.
Valencia sit in sixth spot in La Liga and lost 1-0 at home against mid-table Eibar in weekend league action.
