Arsenal take on Girona on the road in their final league game of the Champions League campaign.

The Gunners have 16 points after seven matches and they are guaranteed to finish in the top eight, barring a significant defeat.

Ahead of the game, manager Mikel Arteta could make several changes to the starting line-up. We anticipate at least four to five.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has been ever-present in the Champions League, keeping five clean sheets. He will be eyeing his sixth shutout against Girona.

The backline could see two changes with William Saliba and Myles Lewis-Skelly making way for Jakub Kiwior and Riccardo Calafiori.

Saliba has just returned from a muscular concern and could be given a breather. Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes will complete the back four.

Jorginho could feature in the number six role ahead of Thomas Partey.

In central midfield, Martin Odegaard could be reinstated after recovering from illness. We expect him to partner Declan Rice.

In the final third, Ethan Nwaneri could make his full European debut on the right wing with Gabriel Martinelli operating on the left flank.

Kai Havertz is poised to lead the Gunners attack once more.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Girona; Raya; Timber, Kiwior, Gabriel, Calafiori; Jorginho, Odegaard, Rice; Nwaneri, Havertz, Martinelli.
