Danny Welbeck leads Arsenal's line in this evening's Europa League showdown with Ostersunds FK, as Arsene Wenger makes four changes to his side.

Danny Welbeck has been selected to lead Arsenal's line in this evening's Europa League last-32 first-leg tie against Ostersunds FK.

The England international takes over from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is ineligible for the knockout stages of the competition.

There is also no Alexandre Lacazette due to injury, so Eddie Nketiah is the Gunners' only striking alternative from the bench.

As confirmed by Arsene Wenger on Wednesday, meanwhile, star midfielder Mesut Ozil also features from the off, as does January signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan alongside him in a likely 4-2-3-1 formation.

Welbeck comes in as one of four changes from the 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur last time out, with Calum Chambers taking over from the injured Laurent Koscielny at the back.

In terms of the home side, who are managed by Englishman Graham Potter, they have tinkered with their formation slightly and go with a three-man midfield.

Brwa Nouri remains in the middle, joined by Curtis Edwards and Samuel Mensah, while Saman Ghoddos - with two goals in six group-stage outings - will start through the middle.

Ostersunds FK: Keita; Mukiibi, Papagiannopoulos, Pettersson, Widgren; Edwards, Nouri, Mensah; Sema, Ghoddos, Gero
Subs: Andersson, Tekie, Bergqvist, Hopcutt, Aiesh, Sonko Sundberg, Islamovic

Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Chambers, Mustafi, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Elneny; Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil; Welbeck
Subs: Macey, Holding, Kolasinac, Willock, Xhaka, Nelson, Nketiah
