Arsenal will face Kairat at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, aiming to secure the top position in their Champions League group.
The Gunners have had a strong European campaign so far and look to bounce back from their recent league loss. Mikel Arteta’s team leads the Champions League table with seven wins out of seven games. A single point in this match will ensure they are highly seeded for the knockout stages. Despite making several changes, Arsenal is favored to keep their winning streak intact.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta is dealing with some injuries in defense and suspensions in midfield. William Saliba and Jurrien Timber will not play to ensure they are ready for the weekend. Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are also out due to too many yellow cards. As a result, the manager will likely rotate his squad against the Kazakh team at the bottom of the table.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to start in goal, giving David Raya a break. Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie are likely to be the central defenders in Saliba’s absence. In midfield, Christian Norgaard and Eberechi Eze are set to join captain Martin Odegaard. Viktor Gyokeres is tipped to lead the attack after Gabriel Jesus played against Manchester United.

Arsenal predicted XI: Kepa; White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Norgaard, Eze; Madueke, Gyokeres, Martinelli
