Arsenal are ready to clash with Red Star Belgrade on Thursday night for their next Europa League game, and a win at the Emirates will ensure a spot in the knockout stage.
Even if the match ended in a draw, should BATE Borisov fail to beat Cologne today, Arsenal will still sail through to the knockout stages, as they have already won the first three games in their group.
Arsenal were able to beat Belgrade 1-0 In their first leg meeting, all thanks to a superb goal by Frenchman Oliver Giroud.
The North London club will be going into the game with full confidence following their impressive performances so far – beating Everton, Norwich City and Swansea City in a roll.
Arsenal are therefore favourites to get all three points from the game.
Team News
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is likely to rotate his team from the one we saw the last weekend in the premier league, and he will also consider the game against Manchester City this Sunday at the Etihad Stadium.
David Ospina is not yet fully fit, meaning Petr Cech will be in-between the sticks for the North Londoners.
Arsenal new boy Sead Kolasinac is not expected to feature for his side in the game due to injury, but Wenger might give the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Chris Willock and Mathieu Debuchy their chances.
