Thu Jan 23 02:20:00 IST 2025: ## Arsenal Makes Four Changes for Champions League Clash Against Dinamo Zagreb

**London, England** – Arsenal has announced four changes to its starting lineup for tonight’s crucial Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb. Defenders Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko replace Thomas Partey and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the back four, with Jurrien Timber returning to his usual right-back position. Jorginho will fill the midfield spot vacated by Partey (who is on the bench), and Raheem Sterling replaces Leandro Trossard (also on the bench, poised for a potential 100th Arsenal appearance).

Manager Mikel Arteta also welcomed back Riccardo Calafiori and Ethan Nwaneri from injury, both named as substitutes. A win for Arsenal would virtually secure a top-eight finish in the competition, pending other results.

Dinamo Zagreb, under new manager Fabio Cannavaro, also made significant changes to its lineup, featuring four players not seen in the team’s last Croatian league match on December 22nd. Top scorer Sandro Kulenovic and promising talent Martin Baturina are among those starting.

**Arsenal Starting XI:** Raya, Timber, Gabriel, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Sterling, Martinelli, Havertz.

**Dinamo Zagreb Starting XI:** Nevistic, Ristovski, Mmaee, Torrente, Bernauer, Pierre-Gabriel, Ademi, Rog, Stojkovic, Baturina, Kulenovic.
