Stadium Estadio R, Sanchez Pizjuan
Referee Glen Nyberg (Sweden)
Goal Scorer:
Sevilla
Sevilla head coach Alonso has inherited a near fully-fit squad from Mendilibar, and the hosts' only absentees on Tuesday should be goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor (knee) and striker Mariano Diaz (thigh), although neither man would have forced their way into the first XI.
Alonso admitted that focal point Youssef En-Nesyri was an enforced withdrawal late on in their draw with Real Madrid, although the Moroccan is not believed to be suffering from anything more than a bout of fatigue and ought to take his rightful place in the lineup here.
Rafa Mir is on hand should En-Nesyri be in need of a break, while Boubakary Soumare could hold his spot at the base of the midfield after earning praise from Alonso for his showing against Real Madrid.
Sevilla possible starting lineup:
Nyland; Navas, Gudelj, Ramos, Acuna; Sow, Soumare, Rakitic; Lukebakio, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
Arsenal
Similarly, a backup goalkeeper was one of only two players missing for Arsenal in their battle with Chelsea, as Aaron Ramsdale attended to the birth of his child while Raya ironically made a couple of schoolboy errors in between the sticks.
Ramsdale should be back in the fold on Tuesday, leaving ACL victim Jurrien Timber as the Gunners' sole absentee, and Arteta will no doubt face calls to bring the Englishman back into the starting lineup, although such pleas are likely to fall on deaf ears.
However, both Thomas Partey and Kai Havertz are in contention to displace Jorginho in the middle of the park, while Gabriel Jesus struggled to make an impact in West London but should hold off the threat of Eddie Nketiah regardless.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Prediction: Sevilla 0-1 Arsenal
