Arsenal team news: Predicted line up and starting XI for Qarabag clash

Unai Emery has the perfect opportunity to rotate his side when Arsenal host Qarabag in their final Europa League group match.

With the Gunners already qualified as group winners and a runners-up spot well out of the visitors’ reach, there is little riding on Thursday’s Emirates clash.

But with injuries stacking up ahead of the busy festive period, Emery will be keen to see which of his youngsters are ready to step up.

The Spaniard, though, has already confirmed that Lorent Koscielny will make his return to the senior side.

The club captain has not featured since rupturing his Achilles in May but is set to start in a much-changed side.

Here is Standard Sport's predicted line up for Thursday's game...

[4-2-3-1]: Cech, Jenkinson, Sokratis, Koscielny, Maitland-NIles, Elneny, Guendouzi, Willock, Ozil, Saka, Nketiah.
