Sports Mole looks at how Arsenal could line up for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Arsenal could be without the services of Bukayo Saka for their Champions League match against Lens on Tuesday after Mikel Arteta confirmed that the 22-year-old had picked up a 'pretty bad knock' in their 4-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend.

The England international has been crucial to the Gunners' success and currently leads the club's goalscoring and assists charts this season with five and four, respectively.

Considering his importance to the side and with a huge match against Manchester City incoming over the weekend, Arteta may consider resting the winger in this one.

Fabio Vieira has recovered from a knock and got some much-needed game time at the Vitality Stadium and could make the starting 11 here, potentially at the expense of Kai Havertz.

After making a positive start to his career in London, Jurrien Timber sustained a serious knee injury and is only expected to return to action in the new year.

Thomas Partey is still recovering from a groin injury and is expected to miss this trip to France, which should see Declan Rice continue in defensive midfield with Martin Odegaard pushing on to support the front men.

Gabriel Martinelli has been recovering from a hamstring issue for the last few weeks and was excluded from the matchday squad against Bournemouth over the weekend, though the Brazilian is likely to be eligible for selection in this one.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Vieira; Trossard, Nketiah, Jesus
