Unai Emery could hand goalkeeper Bernd Leno his Arsenal debut as he is expected to ring the changes for the Europa League opener at home to Vorskla Poltava.

The summer signing has yet to feature for the Gunners with Petr Cech playing every minute under Emery to date – but he is likely to get his chance to impress on Thursday night.

Lucas Torreira is in line for his first start while the likes of Mohamed Elneny, Danny Welbeck and Stephan Lichtsteiner will be pushing for rare outings as Laurent Koscielny (Achilles), Sead Kolasinac (knee), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (leg) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) remain absent.

Provisional squad: Cech, Leno, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Papastathopoulos, Monreal, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Welbeck, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
