After a hugely impressive win over Liverpool, Arsenal resume their Europa League journey with a trip to Norway where Bodo/Glimt wait for them, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
Getting the better of the Reds over the weekend wasn’t an easy task for the Gunners who have struggled against Jurgen Klopp’s men in the last few years. Aided by that confidence, they will go to Norway looking to add another win to their season.
As for the team news, there are two players who are out for a long period of time and that is Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny. Apart from that, there is a doubt over the availability of Alex Zinchenko who missed the game on Sunday.
And the north Londoners could have to do without their talisman in attack, Gabriel Jesus. The striker was not seen in training today and it is said that this is just a precaution as the team wants him to be fit for the weekend clash against Leeds United.
Arsenal Fever View:
There are three more games left after this in the Europa League group stage. So, sealing the top spot as quickly as possible will be the goal for the Gunners. They have the ability to get the three points and should trust their tactics to do so.
We will see a lot of changes for this game but the important factor is that it should not affect the style of play too much. The hosts are going to attack and that will actually be good news for the likes of Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah.
Mikel Arteta will be happy with the way his team is progressing and getting to the next stage of the Europa League is a big part of that. Keep the defence tight and the chances will definitely present themselves. It is then all about being clinical in front of goal.
Arsenal have the players and the confidence needed to get a win so, it should be a relatively easy match for them. But Arteta will know that there is no room for complacency and would want his players to remain focused on getting the job done.
