Lens 1-1 Arsenal - Champions League LIVE: Gunners fall BEHIND having taken the lead after David Raya mistake allowed French side to equalise

Arsenal have 15 minutes to change this game.

Nothing has gone their way since that Jesus goal.

Lens make three changes too.

Thomasson, Mendy and goalscorer Wahi are replaced by Fulgini, Diouf and Said.

Arteta rings the changes.

Havertz, Trossard and Zinchenko are replaced by White, Nelson and Smith Rowe.

Lens lead!

It's another great finish as Wahi meet a low cross from the right and sweeps it into the far corner.

Deafening noise from the lens fans.

Arsenal so close to taking the lead as Tomiyasu meets a ball in the box and sees his first time finish blocked by the outstretched foot of the keeper.

Desperately close.

The Gunners are providing little going forward at the moment.

They could really do with some more pace.

Lens go inches from taking the lead as Abdul Samed meets a cut back from the right and puts it into the side netting.

Arsenal were opened up then.

Just over 30 minutes to go and this one really could go either way.

Neither side are creating too many openings though.

Arsenal win it back and Havertz drives towards the area before laying it off to Trossard on the left.

He beats his man with a fake shot before seeing his placed finish denied by the keeper's outstretched leg.

The ball bounces off a defender and almost into the net but the Lens stopper manages to grab it.

The Lens fans are making a racket again.

Looks like a great place to watch football.

Saka can't continue.

Vieira comes on.

Got to hope it's just another knock.

A worry for Arsenal now as Saka goes down and needs treatment.

He's been forced off in his last two games.

City on Sunday....

Tomiyasu gets in behind on the right with a lovely run but he can't beat the first man with his cross.

Lens have a great opportunity to break but they get it all wronf.

Havertz is booked for a late challenge.

We've got a real game on our hands here.

What a finish but you have to look at David Raya too!

The keeper gets his ball out wide wrong and Lens steal it.

The ball then reaches Thomasson, who meets it first time and curls a wonderful strike into the far corner.

Brilliant goal but avoidable.

Thomasson meets a cross at the near post but he can't turn his strike goalwards.

A ball is floated to the back post where Kai Havertz is waiting.

He catches it well with his left but the goalkeeper makes the stop at the near post.

That was exactly what Arsenal needed.

Sets up the game nicely for them now.

What a finish!

Lens give it away in their half and Saka feeds Jesus on the edge of the area.

He makes space for himself before finding the far corner with an inch-perfect finish.

A routine take for Raya from a cross this time.

Arsenal absorbing this early pressure fairly well so far.

Thomasson meets a cross from the right and glances his header wide.

The flag is up anyway.

Arsenal second to most balls at the moment.

The home side are giving their fans the start they were hoping for.

Odegaard works it well out to Saka on the right but he's easily dispossesed.

Lens get it forward and win themselves an early corner.

The ball bounces around the area before Sotoca drags a half volley just wide on the post.

Arsenal get us underway.

The atmosphere is electric.

The teams are on their way out.

Both sets of fans are bang up for this one.

The warm-ups are complete and it's nearly time for that famous music.

Arsenal have lost just one of their 14 away games against French sides in all competitions.

Lens have scored at least once in each of their last 33 home games in all European competitions (78 goals), starting this run against Arsenal in the group stages of the Champions League in 1998-99.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine group games in the competition.

Gabriel Jesus has been involved in 15 goals in his last 15 Champions League starts, scoring 12 and assisting three.

Both teams are putting the finishing touches on their preparations.

Plenty of noise in the ground already.

The Arsenal boss said: 'We expect a huge battle. We are more than aware of it.

'They are a really good side and we have a huge test ahead of us. I was really impressed with what they did last year.

'It's incredible to finish in that position, and the way they did it, the form they had at home.

'This season they have been really unlucky with some results. I don't know how they don't have more points.'

It looks like Mikel Arteta has made his decision when it comes to his keeper for the Champions League and Premier League.

Aaron Ramsdale might have to settle for domestic cup competition.

Mikel Arteta's side will be wearing their popular third strip tonight.

Leandro Trossard returns to the starting line-up following his minor injury with Eddie Nketiah dropping out and Gabriel Jesus up front.

David Raya keeps his place in goal while Bukayo Saka starts despite being forced off with knocks in both of his last two matches.

Tomiyasu steps in for Ben White at right-back.

Starting XI: Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Havertz, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Trossard.

Subs: Ramsdale, Hein, White, Partey, Smith Rowe, Kiwior, Nketiah, Cedric, Jorginho, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny.

Arsenal's preparations for their Champions League group stage clash at Lens took a hit with the squad left stuck at Luton Airport for five hours due to bad weather.
