Team news: Rice and Havertz start in Lisbon | Keep news | News

Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli have all been recalled to the starting line-up for our Champions League meeting with Sporting CP.

All four were on the bench against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, although Partey came on in the second half (and grabbed our second goal).

Mikel Merino, Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Jorginho all depart from the side that won 3-0 on Saturday.

This means that David Raya will continue in goal behind an unchanged back four. William Saliba becomes the 17th Frenchman to reach 100 appearances for us.

Martin Odegaard leads the team out again after missing all four of our Champions League games so far, apart from a late cameo at the end of our game against Inter last time out.

Kieran Tierney is back among the substitutes, if he comes on it will be his first appearance for us since playing in the Community Shield at the start of last season.

As for the hosts, Viktor Gyokeres leads the way up front having scored 24 goals from 19 appearances for his club so far this season.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Setford, Tierney, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Jorginho, Sterling, Nwaneri, Trossard, Jesus.
