Team news: White returns for Inter clash | Keep news | News

Mikel Arteta has made just one change from the team that played Newcastle at the weekend, with Ben White returning to Inter Milan.

After not starting our last two games, White returns at right back, while Jurrien Timber continues at left back. Gabriel and William Saliba form the central defensive partnership.

Declan Rice misses out entirely with a foot injury, so Thomas Partey returns to midfield with Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard.

Kai Havertz starts up front with captain Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks.

After missing our last 12 games with an ankle injury, Martin Odegaard is fit enough to return to the bench. Among our replacements are also 18-year-old defender Josh Robinson and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, a 21-year-old forward. Both have yet to represent the first team.

The visitors make five changes from the side that beat Venezia 1-0 at the weekend. Top scorer Lautaro Martinez starts up front, but former marksman Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the bench alongside Italy internationals Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Merino, Trossard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Robinson, Zinchenko, Myles-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus, Butler-Oyedeji.

Inter: Sommer, Dumfries, Pavard, De Vrij, Bisseck, Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Taremi, L Martinez. Subs: Di Gennaro, J Martinez, Arnautovic, Thuram, Acerbi, Buchanan, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco, Bastoni.
