Arsenal set to host Olympiacos tonight in the second leg encounter of the Europa League round of 16.
The Gunners have one leg in the quarter final after their 3-1 win in the first leg last month.
Ahead of the game at the Emirates stadium, Mikel Arteta has fielded a strong side despite rotating his team.
Young Nigerian Arthur Okonkwo who is 19 made the bench as the second goalkeeper aside from Mat Ryan.
Nicolas Pepe , Hector Bellerin and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all come into the squad.
Both David Luiz and Gabriel Magalhães retain their center back positions and Kieran Tierney at left.
Thomas Partey has been rested along with Martin Odegaard which sees Mohamed Elneny and Dani Ceballos replace them.
In the attack, Emile Smith-Rowe and Pepe will play from the flank.
Aubameyang who was punished for coming to training late against Tottenham over the weekend has been recalled as Lacazette is rested.
