Sky sports pundit speaks on what to expect in Arsenal vs Sporting clash

Inform Arsenal will return to the field again on Thursday evening to slot it out with Sporting CP in the Europa League.

The North London side have been able to complete 10 successive wins in all competitions this season and will look forward to extending it to 11 after the Thursday evening clash.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted that the Gunners could make some changes from the line-up of Monday’s Premier League clash against Leicester City so as to help some players rest and create a balance in the team.

Nicholas, therefore, predicts that it would be a difficult game for Arsenal to win knowing that the Portuguese opponent will be playing at home with full confidence having picked 6 points already.

He noted that the North London side should be able to celebrate if they pick a point in the game despite their big squad.

The Pundit, therefore, admits the likeliness of a win for the English side because they have the ability to create a lot of chances and score goals.

According to him, Sporting are also a good side with big experience in the Europa competition and they have got players who can pose threats to the Gunners team.
