Both clubs are 2nd in their domestic leagues. Arsenal have 15 points from six Premier League games and four wins in their last five. Lille have 13 points from six in Ligue 1, with three wins, a draw and a defeat in their last five.
Arsenal will be without W. Saliba (back) and C. Tzolis (hamstring). Tzolis has four assists this season, so more of the attacking burden falls on M. Ødegaard (four goals) and B. Saka (three goals).
