Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will be looking to make it eight victories in a row in all competitions, as they welcome PSV Eindhoven to north London this evening for this Europa League encounter. Currently sitting pretty at the top of Group A, with a 100 per cent record so far in this tournament, the Gunners now face a Dutch side that look to be their closest group rivals, and one they have failed to beat in their last three encounters.

The Gunners have made six changes from the weekend, with Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney, Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah all coming in to the XI, while Matt Turner starts between the sticks. Gabriel Martinelli and Oleksandr Zinchenko meanwhile both miss out after failing late fitness tests.

A muscle injury means Ismael Saibari misses out for the visitors, who start with rumoured Arsenal target Cody Gakpo in their attack.

Here's how to watch an Arsenal vs PSV live stream today, no matter where you are in the world.

Postponed from last month following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the rescheduled tie sees Arteta pitting his wits against a familiar old Arsenal foe, with former Manchester United striker and Martin Keown antagoniser Ruud van Nistelrooy in the opposition dugout on Thursday in his current role as PSV head coach.

Currently sitting second in the Eredivisie, some of van Nistelrooy's goalscoring magic appears to have rubbed off on his players, with the Red and Whites having bagged 17 goals in a run of four wins across all competitions coming into this game.

Another victory for PSV in this tie would see them leapfrog their hosts at the top of the pool, while a win for the Gunners would all but seal their spot in the knockout stages of this competition.
