Mitrovic out for Anderlecht

Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been left out of the starting lineup for their Champions League Group D clash against Arsenal this evening.

The Serbian, who has scored 10 goals in 15 Belgian league appearances, has to make do with a place on the bench, while Fabrice N'Sakala is still not fit enough to return following a recent knee ligament injury.

Arsenal third-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez makes his Champions League debut for the Gunners, with Wojciech Szczesny suspended and David Ospina injured.

England midfielder Jack Wilshere is fit for Arsene Wenger's side, despite limping off against Hull City at the weekend, with Aaron Ramsey also in the starting XI.

Anderlecht: Proto, Deschacht, Mbemba, Vanden Borre, Praet, Defour, Tielemans, Najar, Cyriac, Acheampong, Conte Subs: Roef, Suarez, Colin, Kljestan, Dendoncker, Kabasele, Mitrovic

Arsenal: Martinez, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Sanchez, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Welbeck Subs: Huddart, Bellerin, Rosicky, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Campbell
