Arsenal resume their European campaign with a visit to Molde in Norway tonight.

Mikel Arteta’s side sit top of Group B in the Europa League after winning all three of their games.

The Gunners have been very hit and miss in the Premier League, but you can’t fault them in this competition so far.

Eddie Nketiah has started all three of Arsenal’s Europa League victories this season and will hope to get the nod over Alexandre Lacazette again today.

Here’s what the 21-year-old striker posted on Twitter on the eve of the clash – and how fans of the Emirates Stadium side reacted.

A good performance might put Nketiah in contention to start against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.

Lacazette hasn’t been doing the business through the middle under Arteta in recent months.

And at this point, the rookie Spanish coach must be thinking about using Nketiah – who has scored once in the Europa League this season – as the spearhead and who knows, a few goals tonight might finally convince Arteta to swap them around.
