Arsenal can seal passage into the next round of the Europa League with a win this evening, but PSV may have other ideas.
The Gunners face their toughest opposition yet as they look to seal qualification to the next round of the competition, but with home advantage you would still expect us to win, even with a much-changed side out.
We predicted that we would see a mix of first-team stars and squad members starting this evening in our predicted team earlier on today, naming the below, and as you can see, we wasn’t too far away.
Early prediction:
Turner
Tomiyasu Holding Saliba Tierney
Lokonga Xhaka
Marquinhos Odegaard Vieira
Nketiah
Introducing our starting XI…
🏴 @KieranTierney1 returns
🇵🇹 Fabio Vieira starts

This team should have goals in it, and I firmly expect us to clinch the win this evening, and then we can rotate our squad further for the next couple of fixtures.

From this line up it’s clear that MA and company is really taking one game at time without looking at PL table…
Otherwise at the moment PL table so tempting that MA could have easily rest few players from this line up for Southampton…
But they are really taking game at a time and fielded best possible strong line up..
BBC..”Winning helps a lot. I have no complaints. This is an exceptional group that are in a really good moment.
“We are enjoying the moment and we want to get better, but we are on the right path.”..Arteta
This gives the players a lot of confidence
Jesus.
Nketiah. Fabio. Saka.
Xhaka. Lokonga.
Tierney. Gabriel. Holding. Tomiyasu.
Turner.
Let’s go Gunners let’s go yo!
I think Arteta wants to make sure we win the game to make our home supporters happy and to avoid fixture congestion, hence the strong line-up
Unfortunately, Nelson doesn’t get the chance to start
In the immortal words of “Larry the cable guy”…”Git R done”…😁
Why is europa league always so boring? Even against a team like psv it’s still boring
Bit too slow , no intensity or real movement.
We made plenty of chances, but we couldn’t convert them into goals. Xhaka shouldn’t have made that rash challenge
Vieira has got to make bolder passes and turns, otherwise he’d likely get replaced by Odegaard in the second half
Lokonga not filling me with confidence ATM
Lonkonga not really on point. We need Odegaard.
Somebody needs to put their scoring boots on
He went for power instead of precision.
Eddie Eddie!!
It was a good effort
In you go!
Boom boom Xhaka!!
Eddie could learn a thing, it’s not always about power.
Nice goal from xhaka – difficult one on his wrong foot
True.
Please not Saka!!
Xhaka boom
Did u see how we became quicker in attack when partey and odegard came on?
Goooooooaaaaaaal
One thing you can be sure of Saka and Nketiah will never pass the ball
If we win tonight,MA is going to be able to properly rest players for the 2 games remaining,perfect.
Fair play to Turner,no messing about.he has no problems kicking the ball long if he has to.
Yes, we’re through!!👏
We are not through to the next phase yet, even though we are top we need another point as if we finish second we face a play off against a team from the CL.
A good win but it lacked a bit of va va voom for me. Comfortable for the most part but not clinical
