Kevin Campbell believes that Mikel Arteta will be bringing three Arsenal players back into his first XI for tonight’s Europa League clash in Athens.

The Gunners are back in Greece to square off with Olympiacos in the first leg of a last-16 clash.

Arsenal’s season is now all about winning the Europa League and gaining Champions League qualification that way, given that Arteta’s side are 10th in the Premier League and well off the pace regarding a top-four finish.

The North Londoners come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Burnley, in which the visitors created a lot of goalscoring opportunities but failed to take them.

The Spanish coach rested Hector Bellerin, Gabriel Magalhaes and Nicolas Pepe for the trip to Turf Moor.

But former Arsenal hitman Campbell, speaking to The Highbury Squad podcast, has predicted Arteta’s going to name all three in his first XI tonight.

Here’s how Campbell thinks his old side will line up: Leno; Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Pepe, Aubameyang
