Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Arsenal's Europa League tie with Irish outfit Dundalk.

Arsenal as expected enjoying lots of possession in the Dundalk half but no goal threat yet.

Dundalk get us underway.

Granit Xhaka is the only player who started against Leicester in the 1-0 defeat at the weekend - Mustafi, Pepe and Nketiah all came off the bench in the second half.

The players are now coming out of the tunnel.

If there were only fans at the Emirates there would be a great atmosphere after Spurs losing to Antwerp.

Dundalk also went one up against Molde but could not hold on to get anything out of the game.

Arsenal won the first game against Rapid Vienna 2-1 but only after a calamitous error from Bernd Leno. You can be sure debutant Runarsson won't be making any fancy passes in his area like this.

England's record Under-21 goalscorer Eddie Nketiah will lead the line for the Gunners tonight, supported by fellow young star Reiss Nelson and Pepe.

While this will obviously be a massive game for Dundalk players, they have a lot of experience at least. Keeper Gary Rogers is approaching a half-century of European appearances and four years ago they came close to reaching the Champions League group stage before beating Maccabi Tel Aviv and drawing with AZ Alkmaar away in the Europa League - a run that boosted the reputation of current Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny.

And this is the Dundalk XI that will step out at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

Here is how the Gunners are lining up. There is a first appearance between the sticks for Icelandic stopper Runar Alex Runarsson.
