The Gunners welcome the Greek side Olympiacos to the Emirates for a Thursday clash. The Gunners hope to advance to the Europa League’s Round of 16. Arsenal holds a 1-0 lead after the first leg.
Here’s my projected starting XI for Thursday at the Emirates…
Leno
Saka, Mustafi, Luiz, Bellerin
Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock
Aubameyang, Lazazette, Martinelli
Projected final score: Arsenal 2 – Olympiacos 0
Also, Mikel Arteta released some positive news today. Kieran Tierney and Cedric Soares are both processing well following their injuries and could even be available for Monday night’s FA Cup match at Portsmouth.
On the negative side, the manager also reported there is a small chance Sead Kolasinac won’t play again this season. The team is waiting on word from the medical staff on whether or not the his shoulder was dislocated v Everton.
COYG!
Cheers. Gunner1953
