What is the team news?
Arsenal have often played the youngsters in the Europa League this season, with Gabriel Martinelli netting three times already in the competition.
Yet, the Brazilian could be rested after starting ahead of Alexandre Lacazette in the Premier League win over West Ham on Monday.
But Kieran Tierney will certainly not be featuring after he went off in the first half at London Stadium with a shoulder injury.
Dani Ceballos and Rob Holding are also expected to miss the trip to Belgium.
Meanwhile, Noe Dussenne is sidelined until at least February for Standard Liege.
There are also concerns for Orlando Sa and Anthony Limbombe.
