Viktor Gyokeres comes back into the Arsenal side for their Champions League last-16 second-leg clash with Bayer Leverkusen tonight.
The striker dropped to the bench for the win over Everton on Saturday as Kai Havertz led the line, but Mikel Arteta shuffles his pack this evening.

Arsenal remain keen to carefully manage Havertz's fitness and with the Carabao Cup final to come on Sunday, Gyokeres gets the nod against Leverkusen.
Jurrien Timber was ruled out of Tuesday night's match, leaving Arteta with a decision between Cristhian Mosquera and Ben White.
Mosquera was preferred off the bench against Everton, but White and Leverkusen loanee Piero Hincapie are picked ahead of Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori at full-back tonight.
Martin Odegaard also remains unavailable, leaving Eberechi Eze to keep his place at No10.
Arsenal are boosted by the return of Leandro Trossard, who has missed the last two matches with a minor injury.
Trossard took part in training on Monday and goes straight back into the starting lineup.
Arteta must also decide how to use Max Dowman after his heroics to drag Arsenal to victory against Everton.
The 16-year-old is on the bench and could find himself with a key role to play again if Arsenal are in need of a late goal. Mikel Merino remains sidelined after foot surgery.
