Arsenal team news:

Arsene Wenger is expected to field his attacking trio of Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The French tactician does, however, face injury worries with Aaron Ramsey ruled out with a hamstring injury. Striker Olivier Giroud is also sidelined with the same injury.

Wenger could opt to field Jack Wilshere in place of the injured Ramsey or may decide to play Francis Coquelin for a more balanced approach.

Germany international Shkodran Mustafi returned to first team training this week and is expected to feature on Friday night.
