Alexandre Lacazette leads the line and will have an attacking trio of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang behind him.

Lucas Torreira returns to the Gunners’ midfield after dropping to the bench for their 3-1 Europa League semi-final first leg win over Valencia on Thursday.

Veteran right-back Stephen Lichtsteiner starts for the first time since February 24.

Meanwhile, the pressure is off Brighton after Cardiff’s relegation was confirmed with a 3-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Chris Hughton’s men, who have scored just one goal in eight Premier League games, will be looking to test a leaky Arsenal backline.
