Latest Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk team information
Although there was hope that Bukayo Saka would recover from his hamstring injury in time for Bournemouth, he is still out and a major doubt for the visit of Shakhtar. Jurrien Timber, who was excellent against PSG, is also out with a muscle problem, while Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all definitely out. Odegaard is unlikely to return against Liverpool.

Saliba will not be affected by his red card from the last game, and Arteta could consider some changes, with Thomas Partey the leading candidate for a rest. Shakhtar, on the other hand, will travel to the Emirates with a near-full squad, with only reserve goalkeeper Tymur Puzankov a concern as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Shakhtar's gem Georgiy Sudakov will be the match coordinator, having enjoyed an impressive domestic campaign with seven goals and two assists in nine games. Danylo Sikan could also replace Eguinaldo, having been involved in four of Shakhtar's last seven away goals in the Champions League, with three goals and one assist.
Latest predicted lineup for Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Arsenal:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Havertz, Rice, Merino; Sterling, Jesus, Trossard
Shakhtar Donetsk:
Riznyk; Konoplya, Bondar, Matvienko, Henrique; Stepanenko; Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Newerton; Sikan
Latest football commentary Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Arsenal debuted their new third kit against Bournemouth on Saturday night, but still saw William Saliba sent off, becoming their third player to be sent off this season. The injury led to Ryan Christie's corner and Justin Kluivert's penalty, while Arsenal squandered Gabriel Martinelli's chance before the opener.

The 2-0 defeat cost Arsenal the chance to temporarily take the lead in the Premier League. However, they have a great chance to bounce back ahead of their upcoming clash with Liverpool. Arteta's side played out a goalless draw with Atalanta BC before winning 2-0 against Paris Saint-Germain, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal are 13th in the Champions League group stage, hoping to keep three consecutive clean sheets for the first time since 2007. Shakhtar, following a 3-0 defeat at Atalanta, have two domestic wins, but a poor start to the season has left them fourth in Ukraine.
History is not on Shakhtar's side, having lost both of their previous meetings with Arsenal, most recently a 5-1 defeat in 2010. Pusic's side have had the fewest shots in the Champions League this season and will struggle to find the back of the net, especially without creativity from Saka or Odegaard. However, Arsenal should not struggle against Shakhtar if they don't let their lack of discipline get in the way.
