Arsenal will look to punch their ticket to the Europa League quarter-finals by getting the job done against Sporting CP on home soil.

Mikel Arteta made a handful of changes for last week’s first leg in Lisbon and the Premier League leaders were held to a 2-2 draw at the José Alvalade Stadium.

William Saliba headed home to open the scoring before Goncalo Inacio and Paulinho netted either side of the break to put the hosts in front, but Hidemasa Morita’s second-half own goal made it even-stevens in the last-16 tie.

Arsenal are boosted by the return of Gabriel Jesus, who came off the bench for a cameo appearance in the Gunners’ comfortable 3-0 win at Fulham on Sunday, and Arteta could opt to tinker with his team once again.

Sporting also racked up a 3-0 victory – at home to Boavista – on their return to domestic action on Sunday, but the Portuguese club’s former Gunners defender Hector Bellerin looks set to miss out on a return to the Emirates Stadium due to injury.
