    Marquinhos missed training on Wednesday so doesn’t look likely to be available. Eddie Nketiah hasn’t scored in his last five matches but will likely start ahead of Gabriel Jesus, who is on a barren run of form himself.

    William Saliba and Gabriel have rotated in the middle of defence in Europe this term and it could be the Brazilian’s turn to miss out. Rob Holding will partner whichever defender Arteta picks.

    Kieran Tierney should come in at left-back, with Oleksandr Zinchenko still absent. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira will play in midfield, alongside either Granit Xhaka or Martin Odegaard.

    Xhaka has played a lot more minutes than Odegaard this season, so the Arsenal captain may be given the nod. He, Saliba and Martinelli are the only three who could keep their place from the 1-1 draw at Southampton on Sunday.

    Arsenal’s expected XI vs PSV in full: Turner; Cedric, Saliba, Holding, Tierney; Lokonga, Vieira, Odegaard; Nelson, Nketiah, Martinelli.
