Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Lens

Arsenal will be aiming to book their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League when they welcome Lens to North London on Wednesday night.

The Gunners will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League, which saw them move to the top of the table on 30 points.
