Emile Smith-Rowe is likely to continue his fine run in the Europa League and Aaron Ramsey is set to return to the side. Follow all the live action below:

A rare chance for Qarabag. A corner is swung in and met by Guerrier, who beats Martinez to the ball. Arsenal's goalkeeper has been a spectator so far, but he was caught out there. Thankfully for him, the header was well over the bar.

Arsenal 1-0 Qarabag

76 minutes

Arsenal thought they had scored, but the linesman has his flag up. Nketiah started the counter attack and played the ball out to Saka. He played the ball back into the box for Nketiah, who guided a header into the net. It was a nice move, but there's no reward for the youngsters.
