Mikel Arteta has named two changes for tonight\u2019s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid at Emirates Stadium, with Gabriel Martinelli and Myles Lewis-Skelly getting the nod to start.<\/p>\n
The boss has tweaked the starting XI that beat Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage on Saturday, which secured us a fifth-straight win in all competitions as we look to maintain our 100% start to our European campaign against the team from the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n
That means Saturday’s goalscorer Leandro Trossard drops to the bench with the in-form Martinelli operating on the left flank, supported by Bukayo Saka on the right and Viktor Gyokeres is named up top.<\/p>\n
A midfield trio of Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Ebere Eze continue to gain minutes together, while Lewis-Skelly comes in for Riccardo Calafiori at left-back for his first start since the win against Olympiacos on matchday 2 at the start of October.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Piero Hincapie is named on the bench for the first time since he made his debut in our opening Champions League game at Athletic Club after overcoming his groin problem.<\/p>\n
