Arteta chose to make a hole that began at eleven o’clock despite the trip to PSG in the semifinal of the Champions League on Wednesday, where they will wait to annul a deficit of a goal from the first stage.
Thomas Partey returned to partner Rice in the midfield after leaving the mid -week crash with PSG due to suspension.
Ben White also started the game, replacing Judrien Timber, who was out of the squad after suffering at Tuesday’s game.
Arsenal’s head will wait for a strong show from his players ahead of this crisis game in Paris, as the Gunners seem to get second place on the table.
The Arteta team is currently three points behind Manchester City, but a victory would increase to seven.
