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!
Mikel Arteta said on Friday Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are all in contention to be in the squad for Saturday’s match.
According to Graeme Bailey of TEAMtalk, Arsenal has intensified their interest in Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams as a top summer priority. 
Fabrizio Romano is reporting Calum McFarlane will be the Chelsea interim manager until the end of this season.
Arsenal Women have confirmed Manu Zinsberger will leave the club at the end of this season. The Austrian goalkeeper has totaled 51 cleans sheets in 143 appearances for the Gunners.
Stat of the Day: David Rays has made 53 saves and had 15 cleans sheets in 33 appearances this season for Arsenal.
American movie star Anne Hathaway on the Gunners title chances, “They better. I believe in Arsenal.”
Gabriel Magalhaes, “We need to be strong on Sunday, We are at this club to play these kind of games.”
Ten Premier League managers have been sacked this season, including three at Nottingham Forest, and two each at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
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 !
