Team news: Four changes, Sterling starts derby | Keep news | News

Ahead of tonight’s north London derby, Mikel Arteta has made four changes to his side from Sunday’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United, which saw Raheem Sterling handed his third league start.

The winger comes into our attack alongside Leandro Trossard as Mikel Arteta shuffles his pack, with Gabriel Martinelli dropping to the bench and Gabriel Jesus missing out, having sustained an ACL injury at the weekend and requiring surgery.

Declan Rice and Thomas Partey are also back in our midfield, with Jorginho and Mikel Merino among the replacements. That means our defense remains the same, with Riccardo Calafiori still not ready to return after missing the Red Devils game through injury.

After making six changes to his team for their FA Cup extra-time win against Tamworth, Ange Postecoglu has made five more for tonight’s game.

Big forwards Son-Heung min, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all return after being benched for the non-league trip, with Brennan Johnson and Mikey Moore losing their places and Timo Werner dropping out of the squad after picking up. a hamstring injury.

After captaining Tamworth, James Maddison is dropped with Lucas Bergvall preferred in midfield, while Djed Spence replaces Sergio Reguilon at left-back.

Richarlison returns from two months out with a hamstring injury to be included as a substitute.
