Mikel Arteta has changed our side for our first taste for the action of the Champions League this season, with Declan Rice entering the team to face the athletics club.
England midfielder was rested for our 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but returns to replace the injured Martin Odegaard.
With the Norwegian Missing, Gabriel puts on the armband, while his usual central defender partner William Saliba is back among the replacements, with Cristhian Mosquera being again in the lead to start.
Christian Norgaard is appointed to a match team for the first time after recovering from a knee number and is on the bench, alongside another man while waiting for his beginnings, Piero Hincapie.
