Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko make their unofficial home debuts for Arsenal in this afternoon's Emirates Cup clash against Sevilla.
Meanwhile, fellow summer signings Matt Turner and Marquinhos are named on the bench, but once again there is no place in the squad for Fabio Vieira as well as Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney or Takehiro Tomiyasu.
In fact, manager Mikel Arteta has decided to make wholesale changes to the side that started the behind-closed-doors friendly against London rivals Brentford at London Colney earlier in the week as Arsenal's 100 per cent winning record came to an end in a 2-1 defeat.

This means Aaron Ramsdale returns in goal and the defensive unit is unchanged from the 4-0 win over Chelsea six days ago as Benjamin White starts at right-back with Zinchenko on the opposite flank as William Saliba partners Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence.
Martin Odegaard - officially named club captain this morning - Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka make up the Arsenal midfield trio whilst in attack, £45m summer signing Gabriel Jesus goes in search of a fifth goal in pre-season as he is flanked by Bukayo Saka and compatriot Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal line-up vs Sevilla: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka; Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Martinelli
Subs: Turner, Runarsson, Cedric, Bellerin, Mari, Holding, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Lokonga, Marquinhos, Pepe, Nelson, Nketiah
One other name missing from the Arsenal matchday squad is left-back Nuno Tavares as his season-long loan move to Marseille was officially announced a couple of hours ago: "Nuno Tavares has joined Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille on a season-long loan deal," a statement reads.
"The 22-year-old left-back joined us in the summer of 2021 from Benfica, and made 28 appearances for us in all competitions last season, scoring once and assisting twice. Everyone at Arsenal wishes Nuno all the best this coming season with Marseille. The loan deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes."
