**London, England** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made two alterations to his starting XI for today’s match against Fulham. Oleksandr Zinchenko’s injury absence sees Jorginho come into the side, prompting a defensive reshuffle. Leandro Trossard also returns, replacing Gabriel Martinelli on the bench. Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori remain sidelined through injury.

Captain Martin Odegaard, celebrating the recent birth of his child, will lead the team for the 100th time. The only squad change from midweek is the return of Myles Lewis-Skelly from injury, replacing Zinchenko among the substitutes.

Fulham, meanwhile, field three former Arsenal players in their starting lineup: Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi, and Emile Smith Rowe. Reiss Nelson, on loan from Arsenal, is ineligible. They’ve made four changes from their midweek win over Brighton.

**Arsenal Starting XI:** Raya, Partey, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Havertz.

**Fulham Starting XI:** Leno, Tete, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Diop, Berge, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Jimenez, Adama.
