Mikel Arteta is obviously going to take the Europa League very seriously, and has picked a very strong team to play Olympiacos.
To me, the surprise choices were Leno and Guendouzi, plus Mustafi at fullback.
Also, Mari is not in today’s squad. This is shocking to me unless he is injured.
Leno
Saka, Sokratis, Luiz, Mustafi
Guendouzi, Xhaka, Willock
Martinelli, Lacazette, Aubameyang
COYG!
