Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Tuesday's Champions League Group B clash with Sevilla.

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will be expected to return to the squad when the Gunners meet Sevilla in Tuesday's Champions League Group B contest.

The England international was absent from Sunday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea due to the birth of his child, but there is nothing to suggest that he will miss the trip to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

With Ramsdale out of action, David Raya - as expected - held his place in goal at Stamford Bridge, but he was caught out for a freak Mykhaylo Mudryk goal and nearly offered Cole Palmer a second on a plate not long after.

Mikel Arteta's decision to demote Ramsdale for Raya has therefore come under even more scrutiny, but amid incessant calls for Ramsdale to return to the XI, the Spaniard should keep faith with his compatriot once again.

With William Saliba playing through the pain of his chronic toe injury, only Jurrien Timber (ACL) is in the care of the Arsenal doctors, and the former ought to join forces with the rest of his defensive regulars here.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was taken off at half time at Stamford Bridge, but the Ukrainian - who had been cautioned early on - was taken off for tactical reasons and should continue next to Gabriel Magalhaes, Saliba and Ben White here.

Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will man the midfield as ever, but Kai Havertz and the fit-again Thomas Partey - who knows all about Sevilla from his Atletico Madrid days - will vie to replace Jorginho, and the Ghanaian could get the nod on his return to Spanish soil.

By poking in Bukayo Saka's cross late on against Chelsea, Trossard became the first Arsenal player to score each of his first three Premier League goals as a substitute, but another place on the bench awaits the Belgian as Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus look to hold their places in attack.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
