Confirmed Arsenal XI vs Molde: Reiss Nelson and Nicolas Pepe start in strong Gunners line-up

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named his Arsenal team to take on Molde in the Europa League group stage.

The Gunners are in Norway where victory tonight will seal qualification to the last-16.

Alex Runarsson is given his second Arsenal start in Europe, while Cedric Soares, Shkodran Mustafi and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are in defence alongside the returning David Luiz.

Granit Xhaka and Joe Willock start in midfield, with an attack which includes Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette.

Nicolas Pepe starts and will be looking for redemption after he was sent off against Leeds on Sunday.

The Gunners have eight Hale End academy graduates in the squad and the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Folarin Balogun and Ben Cottrell will be hopeful of featuring in the second half.

Confirmed Arsenal XI vs Molde: Runarsson (GK); Cedric, Luiz, Mustafi, Maitland-Niles; Xhaka, Willock, Nelson, Pepe, Nketiah, Lacazette.
