Arsenal are back in Europe League action tonight as they host Rapid Vienna.
The Gunners lost again in the Premier League on Sunday as they were beaten 2-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Mikel Arteta will be looking for a response in the Europa League, which has been successful for Arsenal; they have four wins from four so far.
They beat Rapid 2-1 to start their group stage campaign, and Arteta will be hoping for a similar positive result tonight.
With that in mind, here’s our predicted lineup for Arsenal’s clash against the Austrian side this evening…
Runar Runarsson’s started against Molde last week, and we’re backing him to come in for Bernd Leno tomorrow night.
Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding seem a good bet to start at centre back, with Cedric Soares and Ainsley Maitland-Niles as the full backs, given that Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney will be needed against Tottenham this weekend.
Mohamed Elneny should start after a recent spell out of the side, and Joe Willock should be given a chance to continue his strong Europa League form.
Nicolas Pepe and Reiss Nelson are bidding for regular playing time and should start tomorrow night, whilst it would be great to see Emile Smith Rowe working as a number 10.
If it isn’t Smith Rowe, then maybe Arteta goes with Alexandre Lacazette in something of a deep-lying forward role.
Folarin Balogun will be pushing for a start, but we’re backing Eddie Nketiah to be given the nod in the Arsenal attack.
Arsenal predicted XI: Runarsson; Cedric, Mustafi, Holding, Maitland-Niles; Elneny, Willock; Pepe, Smith Rowe, Nelson; Nketiah.
