Team News: Saliba returns for Burnley trip

William Saliba returns to the starting line-up for our trip to Burnley as Mikel Arteta makes 10 changes from our victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup.
Wilo was substituted at half-time in our victory over Crystal Palace last weekend before missing the win against the Seagulls at Emirates Stadium.
Our line-up also sees Leandro Trossard make his 100th Premier League appearance for us after his move from Brighton in January 2023.
David Raya starts in goal with Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes joining Saliba in the back four. Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze start together for the third straight Premier League game, with Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres all returning to the starting line-up.
As for our hosts, manager Scott Parker has named an unchanged side from the one that defeated Wolves 3-2 at Molineux last weekend. Martin Dubravka starts in goal with backline of Kyle Walker, Axel Tuanzebe, Maxime Esteve, Josh Laurent and Quilindschy Hartman. Captain Josh Cullen is joined by Florentino and Lesley Ugochukwu. Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming, who netted two in the victory last weekend, are upfront.
