Arsenal vs Lens team news
Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns with the trio of Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber and Emile Smith Rowe still out, though the latter is closest to a return.
David Raya will return in goal after Aaron Ramsdale’s shaky performance against Brentford, while Kai Havertz should keep his place after his last-gasp winner in the game. Gabriel Jesus scored in the first game and could do with a goal.

Lens have been boosted by the return to fitness of defender Danso, while striker Elye Wahi is available to add to his goal from the first game despite being suspended for domestic matches.
Arsenal vs Lens prediction
Lens got the better of Arsenal earlier this season, but the Gunners endured an off night and that is unlikely to happen in front of their own fans.
The Ligue 1 side have been impressive at the back in Europe but you would not bet against the hosts being in potent form with qualification and top spot up for grabs.
