The Gunners head into Thursday’s Europa League Round of 16 2nd Leg with a 3-1 aggregate lead over Olympiakos.
After Sunday’s huge win over Tottenham Hotspur, I expect Mikel Arteta to rest a his regulars in order to be rested and ready for West Ham United on Sunday.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI…
[4-2-3-1]
Nketiah
Martinelli, Willian, Pepe
Elneny, Ceballos
Chambers, Holding, Mari, Cedric
Ryan
Predicted final score…
ARSENAL 3 – Olympiakos 1 (Arsenal win the tie 6-2 on aggregate)
COYG!
The Gunners defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday to win both matches in this season’s North London Derby. With the win Arsenal moves back into 2nd place on the Premier League table.
According to The Mail, Arsenal, is in advanced talks to sign Real Sociedad Martin Zubimendi at the end of this season for a reported $61.2-million (USD).
Takehiro Tomiyasu has returned to full training with the first team after recovering from a knee injury. 
Martin Odegaard, “We need to be sharper in the key moments to make sure we get the results we’ve worked for. We have to keep going and keep improving. There is no choice for us now.”
Doubtful. Arteta needs to win this silverware or he’ll lose his job. There’s no way he’ll risk playing this team. Not that they aren’t potentially winners, but it’s such a big change, and therefore a big risk.
Utter nonsense – unless we want to go out !
