Arsenal could tonight hand Raheem Sterling a rare start as they gear up for what is surely a Champions League quarter-final to come

 

The winger has struggled for chances since joining Arsenal on loan from Chelsea last summer and was an unused substitute during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.

 

Sterling may come into the team when Arsenal take on PSV on Wednesday night in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The Gunners are leading 7-1 from the first leg in Eindhoven last week and Mikel Arteta is expected to make changes.

 

Sterling is one of those who might come in, while Gabriel Martinelli may also start as he continues his comeback from a hamstring injury.

 

Martinelli came off the bench against Manchester United on Sunday and managed to play the final 30 minutes.

 

Ben White is primed to make his first start since November after undergoing knee surgery then.

The right-back made his comeback last month, but he has so far only come off the bench as Arsenal carefully build up his minutes.

 

 

“I think we have to manage him very well because he was still having some issues to manage in terms of the load,” said Arteta.

 

“And were very cautious of that to make sure that when he comes back, he can now maintain that level, and there’s no more setbacks. But I think he’s in a good position now to give him a start.”

 

 

Jakub Kiwior and Kieran Tierney are options to come into the defence, with Jorginho and Oleksandr Zinchenko are possible solutions in midfield.

 

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Odegaard, Jorginho, Zinchenko; Martinelli, Trossard, Sterling

 

Injured: Havertz (hamstring), Jesus (knee), Saka (hamstring), Tomiyasu (knee)
