Mikel Arteta has been able to welcome back William Saliba, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber to his starting line-up for tonight’s Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The trio return to our side after missing the midweek 3-0 win against Club Brugge, with Saliba back fit again after missing the last four matches with a calf injury.
Rice is available again after recovering from illness, while Timber is back in the team after a knock, and replaces Riccardo Calafiori, who sits this game through suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Aston Villa last weekend.
In total there are five changes from the side that started in Belgium on Wednesday, with Ebere Eze and Bukayo Saka also returning to the XI. To accommodate the new faces, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Noni Madueke drop down to a very strong bench.

Rob Edwards meanwhile has made three changes to his Wolves team that were beaten 4-1 by Manchester United at Molineux on Monday night.
Their goalscorer that night was Jean-Ricner Bellegarde but he later limped off with a hamstring injury and is replaced in the side by Hwang Hee-Chan, while Joao Gomes is back in midfield after serving a suspension against Manchester United, with Jhon Arias benched.
The other switch sees Matt Doherty come in at right wing-back in place of Ki-Jana Hoever.
