Arsenal predicted XI vs Bodo/Glimt as Reiss Nelson starts but Granit Xhaka drops to the bench

As Arsenal find themselves riding high in the Premier League, the Europa League presents a decent chance for the second string to try and get in on the action. Sunday's 3-2 victory over Liverpool was an exhausting endeavour, and ahead of a potentially gruelling clash with Leeds, Mikel Arteta will surely want to rest his key players.

That starts in goal where Matt Turner will be looking to prove some doubters wrong. There was a collective sigh of relief when Aaron Ramsdale recovered from an early injury setback on Sunday, but the American will be keen to prove that he can be relied upon when necessary.

It's a similar position where Kieran Tierney will likely feel he has a point to prove after being overlooked in favour of Takehiro Tomiyasu at left back, despite Oleksandr Zinchenko's injury against Liverpool. It's likely the pair will both start this one as Arteta seeks to take advantage of Tomiyasu's versatility. With the Japan international's injury record don't expect him to stay out for the full 90 though, with Gabriel a likely candidate to share the game with him in Norway.
