Team news
Arsenal will be without Declan Rice due to suspension, while Kai Havertz remains unavailable as he continues his recovery. Riccardo Calafiori is a doubt, and Max Dowman is ruled out with an ankle injury.
Kairat Almaty have few injury concerns but may lack sharpness with their domestic season having concluded in October. Rafael Urazbakhtin is expected to select a similar side to the one that faced Club Brugge in their previous Champions League fixture.
Prediction
Arsenal are likely to rotate with qualification already secured, but they still possess enough quality across the squad to control the contest. A comfortable home win for Arsenal remains the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Arsenal 3–0 Kairat Almaty
