Predicted Arsenal line-up vs Zurich tonight

Arsenal will welcome FC Zurich to the Emirates Stadium for the final Europa League group stage game tonight. The Gunners may need to secure a victory in order to finish top of Group A and avoid the last 32 round.



Formation: 4-2-3-1

Aaron Ramsdale looks likely to continue between the sticks with Matt Turner sidelined with a groin injury. The England star will be eyeing back-to-back clean sheets in all competitions.

Two changes could be made in the backline. Takehiro Tomiyasu and William Saliba started last week at PSV and they could be the ones benched.

We fancy Ben White and Kieran Tierney to slot into the full-back positions with Rob Holding partnering Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence.

In midfield, Thomas Partey is set to make his first European start of the season with Granit Xhaka serving a one-game ban in the competition.

The Ghanaian's presence could see Albert Sambi Lokonga operate from the number six role. He has struggled in the defensive position this term.

Further forward, we anticipate three changes. Martin Odegaard could be rested with Fabio Vieira likely to operate from the number 10 spot.

Bukayo Saka could be given a breather with Reiss Nelson coming in on the right wing. Nelson was exceptional vs Forest with two goals and an assist.

Gabriel Martinelli should continue on the left wing, but Gabriel Jesus could once again make way for Eddie Nketiah to lead the Gunners attack.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Holding, Magalhaes, Tierney; Partey, Lokonga; Nelson, Vieira, Martinelli; Nketiah.
