Team news: Saliba starts Carabao Cup semi-final

Mikel Arteta has made eight changes for our trip to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

William Saliba and Leandro Trossard, who both missed our win at Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round, return to the starting line-up.

Kepa Arrizabalaga retains his place in goal after starting at Fratton Park, facing his former club for the first time.

Wilo partners Gabriel in central defence, with the pair joined by Ben White and Jurrien Timber in the backline.

Declan Rice celebrates his birthday by starting in midfield with Martin Zubimendi and captain Martin Odegaard.
