Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly will hope to come into the Arsenal team for the Champions League clash against Olympiacos.

Lewis-Skelly came off the bench during Sunday’s win at Newcastle, but Nwaneri was left out of the squad entirely.

Both could come into the side on tonight, though, with Mikel Arteta likely to make changes for this home game.

Ben White may come into the defence in place of Jurrien Timber at right-back, while summer signing Cristhian Mosquera could get another start.

Nwaneri will hope to start as the right No8 in midfield, although Martin Odegaard should get minutes, too.

The Arsenal captain made his comeback on Sunday after a shoulder injury, coming off the bench and impressing in the win at Newcastle.

Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi are the favourites to play alongside Nwaneri, but Arteta has options to rest them and could call upon Christian Norgaard and Mikel Merino instead.

In attack, Bukayo Saka is continuing to build up his fitness after returning from a hamstring injury and so he should start on the right flank.

Viktor Gyokeres is Arsenal’s only fit striker right now, with Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz out injured, and so he will likely lead the line.

Arteta has the most options available to him on the left flank, even with Noni Madueke out injured. Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are all contenders to start.

Martinelli could be the one picked as he was the only one out of the three that did not start at Newcastle.

Arsenal’s injury concerns have eased since the start of the season, with Piero Hincapie the only other absentee alongside Jesus, Havertz and Madueke.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli

Injured: Havertz (knee), Hincapie (groin), Jesus (knee), Madueke (knee)
