Arsenal take on Bodo/Glimt this evening and here is our predicted lineup for this Europa League game over in Norway.
The Gunners return to European action after another impressive Premier League win on Sunday.
Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2 on Sunday evening as they continued their blistering start to their league campaign.
It’s two wins from two in the Europa League too and Arsenal will hope to continue that with a trip to Scandinavia tonight.
Arsenal beat Bodo/Glimt 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium last week and a repeat performance would be ideal for Arteta.
Arsenal predicted lineup tonight
Mikel Arteta is likely to rotate his team tonight but still faces some big decisions.
Matt Turner came in for Aaron Ramsdale for both Europa League games so far this season and we’re expecting the American to start again here.
Cedric Soares is back from injury and this could be a great chance to start him at right back.
With Oleksander Zinchenko still injured, it would be unwise to use Kieran Tierney tonight.
That means Takehiro Tomiyasu may need to play at left back again tonight having played so well there against Liverpool on Sunday.
Rob Holding is likely to come in and with Gabriel Magalhaes pulling double duty in the Premier League and Europa League, we’ll back him to start again here.
Albert Sambi Lokonga needs more football so should start tonight, but it would be a gamble to start Thomas Partey again given his injury problems of late.
That means Granit Xhaka may need to start alongside Lokonga in midfield with the Swiss ace proving how reliable he can be in midfield.
Fabio Vieira is dazzling when given the chance and having excelled against Bodo last week, he looks nailed-on to start tonight.
Marquinhos has been showing potential and should come in down the right flank to give Bukayo Saka a rest.
Gabriel Martinelli has been playing Europa League games but this may be a great chance to give him some respite and bring in Reiss Nelson.
Mikel Arteta has suggested that Nelson has something ‘special’ in his game and it may be time for him to receive his big chance tonight.
Gabriel Jesus probably wouldn’t have played anyway but his absence from training this week means Eddie Nketiah is bound to start.
Arsenal predicted lineup v Bodo/Glimt: Turner; Cedric, Holding, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Lokonga, Xhaka, Vieira; Marquinhos, Nelson, Nketiah.
