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

Ahead of tonight’s north London derby, Mikel Arteta made four changes to his side from Sunday’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United, with Raheem Sterling earning 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, who suffered an ACL injury at the weekend and requires surgery.

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