Team news: Six changes for Emirates Cup

Mikel Arteta has made six changes to the starting XI for this evening’s Emirates Cup final against Athletic Club.

Following Wednesday’s game with Villarreal, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori come in for Ben White, Jakub Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly in defence.

It’s all change in midfield, as Christian Norgaard, Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri make way for Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Max Dowman is not in the squad as he’s been given some belated time off, while Tommy Setford and Andre Harriman-Annous featured in this afternoon’s under-21s game against AS Monaco.
