This does feel like a chance for Mikel Arteta to rotate his squad but history shows that the Gunners boss doesn't usually do that too often.

Arteta prefers to keep the changes to a minimum but with six games this month, a couple of new faces in the starting line-up will be expected.

Eberechi Eze did not get off of the bench at the weekend and Mikel Merino was a late substitute and both players will be hoping for minutes this evening.

Good evening!

The Champions League returns tonight with Manchester United and Arsenal both in action.

Both sides won their opening fixtures in Europe and will look to make it two wins from two, with Manchester United at Atletico Madrid and Arsenal hosting Lille.

Both games kick off at 20:00 BST.

It doesn't take long in football for optimism and hope to fade.

Michael Carrick was named permanent Manchester United boss in May after an impressive run of form as interim manager that secured Champions League football for this season.

But just a few months on he is now a man under pressure, and is in Spain tonight hoping for a spark after a disappointing start to the season.
