Christos Tzolis has only recently returned from a hamstring problem, and he is unlikely to start twice in four days.
There could also be a European milestone at stake for Eze.
According to Arsenal’s official match preview, he could become the first Englishman to score in three consecutive European Cup appearances for the club since Ray Kennedy, who scored in four successive appearances during the 1971/72 campaign.

They are seven points clear in the Czech league after 13 matches and beat Jablonec 5-0 away on Saturday. Their European campaign has been less productive, however, with just one point from their opening three league-phase fixtures.
