Arsenal Set to Face PSV Eindhoven with Squad Changes | Anticipated Line-up for Champions League Clash

Tonight, Arsenal will host PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie.

The Gunners have struggled to find the back of the net in recent Premier League matches, yet they performed exceptionally well in the first leg at Philips Stadion, holding a commanding 7-1 advantage that nearly guarantees their progression to the quarterfinals.

Conversely, the Dutch team will be aiming to secure a victory in this match.

Team Updates

Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are confirmed to be out for the remainder of the season, ruling them out of this fixture.

Additionally, Bukayo Saka is expected to miss the match due to a hamstring injury.

Gabriel Martinelli, who has been sidelined with a hamstring issue for several weeks, made his return last weekend against Manchester United and is available for selection this evening.

Projected Line-up

Mikel Arteta is anticipated to utilize this match as an opportunity to rotate his squad during a hectic schedule.

Neto may be chosen to start in goal over David Raya.

William Saliba is likely to feature as one of the centre-backs, with Jakub Kiwior partnering him to provide Gabriel Magalhaes with a much-needed rest.

Ben White could make his return to the starting lineup at right-back after recovering from injury, allowing Jurrien Timber a break, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to occupy the left-back position.

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori may be included among the substitutes.

In midfield, Jorginho is set to play as the deep-lying playmaker, with Declan Rice joining him alongside Thomas Partey. Martin Odegaard is projected to take up the attacking midfield role.

Leandro Trossard is likely to continue on the left flank, as Arteta has limited options for rotation, while Raheem Sterling may start on the right side ahead of Ethan Nwaneri.

Mikel Merino is anticipated to occupy the center-forward role, which suggests that Martinelli may come on as a substitute.

Projected Arsenal lineup against PSV Eindhoven:

Neto; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard; Trossard, Merino, Sterling.
