Confirmed teams: Qarabag v Arsenal: Smith Rowe & Kolasinac start
Arsenal are in Azerbaijan ahead of our Europa League group stage encounter with Qarabag later this afternoon [5.55pm kick off].
Emile Smith Rowe starts in midfield while Sead Kolasinac also comes in. Interestingly, Nacho Monreal is also starting so Emery is either playing Kolasinac further forward on the wing or we may be lining-up three at the back with Monreal alongside Sokratis and Rob Holding.
These are the teams:
Qarabag
Vagner, Medvedev, Huseynov, Rzezniczak, Agolli, Madatov, Michel, Garayev, Zoubir, Ozobic, Emeghara
Subs: Halldorsson, Mammadov, Slavchev, Abdullayev, Delarge, Huseynov, Diniyev
Arsenal
