Arteta will recall David Raya to the starting XI with the Spanish goalkeeper ineligible to face his parent club in the 2-1 Premier League weekend win over Brentford.
Gabriel Martinelli hasn’t shaken off a foot injury, and fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus should start, as Arteta chases goals.
Arsenal (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior — Odegaard, Rice, Havertz — Saka, Jesus, Trossard.
Arsenal subs (9): TBC
Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao is likely to still be without key striker Mehdi Taremi due to a thigh strain. No fresh injuries could mean an unchanged starting line up from the first leg.
Porto (4-2-3-1 right to left): Costa (GK) — Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell — Valera, Gonzalez — Conceicao, Pepe, Galeno — Evanilson.
Porto subs (9): TBC
Arsenal vs Porto prediction
The task at hand for Arsenal is straightforward as they need to win to progress after slipping up in Portugal last month.
