Star playmaker Mesut Ozil is expected to start after spending the international break training in north London.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the game, manager Unai Emery insisted that he does work well with Ozil.

“[We get on] very well,” Emery stated.

“I push him for improvements to give us the best in his qualities and performances.”

“Mesut, like other players, works very well here and [is] also working… together to improve things.”

The Spanish tactician is unable to call upon summer signing Lucas Torreria who picked up a leg injury during the international break. The Uruguay international is yet to make a start for the north London based club.

Meanwhile, Laurent Koscielny, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac are all ruled out with injuries.
