Team news: Smith Rowe, Martinelli start at Forest

Mikel Arteta has made two changes to his starting XI for Tuesday evening’s Premier League match at Nottingham Forest, with Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli coming into the side.

The duo replace Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard, who are both among our substitutes.

David Raya starts behind a back four of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel and Alex Zinchenko.

Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Smith Rowe make up the midfield three, with Bukayo Saka and Martinelli supporting Gabriel Jesus in attack.

There’s a familiar face in the hosts’ line-up: goalkeeper Matt Turner, who spent a season with us, starts between the sticks.
