“It will be a similar squad to against Nottingham Forest. We will have Gabriel, Holding, Jenkinson will be back and will play, ” Wenger told arsenal.com.

“Jeff Reine-Adelaide will play, otherwise I think Iwobi, Lucas, Oxlade-Chamberlain will also play.

“Gibbs - who captained the team at Forest - will do it again on Tuesday. ”

It would be Iwobi’s 32nd appearance for Arsenal’s first team if he steps out onto the Emirates Stadium turf tomorrow night.
