Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli both return to our starting line-up to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at the City Ground.
There are three changes in all to the side that beat Chelsea 3-2 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. After sitting out the last two games – in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup – David Raya comes back in to start in goal, with Kepa Arrizabalaga back among the subs.
Both Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard drop to the bench to accommodate Madueke and Martinelli, while Cristhian Mosquera is back on the bench after recovering from an ankle injury that has kept him out of action since December 3.
LINE-UP
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Madueke, Martinelli, Gyokeres.
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Havertz, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
