Arsenal return to Europa League action on Thursday night as they take on Olympiacos in the first leg of their last-32 tie.

Having been named as the long-term successor to Unai Emery, Mikel Arteta takes charge of his first fixture on the continental stage.

The Gunners head into the game having put together an eight-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, with their latest positive result coming courtesy of a 4-0 triumph over Newcastle United at the weekend.

Despite the demolition of the Magpies on Sunday, Arteta will make alterations to his team, which should include a recall for Alexandre Lacazette.

The Frenchman is expected to take the place of Eddie Nketiah, while Gabriel Martinelli is in line to come in for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left flank.

In central areas, Joe Willock could be given the nod over Mesut Ozil, with Lucas Torreira a likely replacement for Granit Xhaka after being dropped at the weekend.

Having allegedly had a disagreement with Arteta during the winter break, Matteo Guendouzi is unlikely to be recalled, meaning that Dani Ceballos could stay in the team.

The backline could also be much-changed as Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac look for game time in the full-back areas.

Although Sokratis Papastathopoulos should come in for David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi is in line to keep his spot with Pablo Mari being given an outing in the Under-23s on Monday night.

Arteta could opt to replace Bernd Leno with Emiliano Martinez between the sticks.
