Here’s how Arsenal line-up tonight:
The Gunners travel to Belarus to take on BATE Borisov this evening, looking to make it two wins from their opening two Europa League group games.
Many of Arsenal’s star men have been left behind in London, including Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette, with Arsene Wenger looking to keep his troops fresh for Sunday’s visit from Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
There will be no Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal tonight
The north London outfit head into tonight’s game in fine form, on the back of four wins and a draw from their last five outings in all competitions.
The hosts have also been on a good run, winning 10 and drawing three of their last 16 outings.
The Borisov Arena will be a tricky place for the Gunners to visit, with its partizan home crowd making for an intimidating atmosphere in the 13,126 capacity stadium.
It is clear where Arsene Wenger’s priorities lie this season, considering the weakened squad that he has taken out to Belarus, but nothing less than a win will do for Arsenal.
SkyBET make the Gunners 4/7 favourites, with the hosts priced at 5/1.
