How Arsenal could line up for Europa League clash against Dundalk

Sports Mole looks at how Arsenal could line up for their final Europa League group match against Dundalk on Thursday.

Arsenal will be looking to make it six wins from six in Europa League Group B when they take on Dundalk in Dublin on Thursday.

The Gunners have made a perfect start to their European campaign and are already assured of top spot, while Dundalk are without a point and cannot finish higher than fourth.

Mikel Arteta is expected to make mass changes on the back of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, with Arsenal needing to quickly get that latest Premier League defeat out of their system.

Ahead of the match at the Aviva Stadium, Sports Mole looks at how the visitors could line up.



Possible ARS XI vs. DUN

Out: Gabriel Martinelli (knee), Mesut Ozil (ineligible), Sokratis (ineligible), William Saliba (ineligible)
Doubtful: David Luiz (head), Thomas Partey (muscle), Calum Chambers (knee)

Nicolas Pepe is serving a three-match domestic ban and seems likely to start this match to keep his fitness ticking over.

It is a similar case for Pablo Mari, who is being eased back to fitness and should start alongside one of Rob Holding or Calum Chambers, depending on the latter's fitness.

Young midfielder Miguel Azeez has twice been included on the bench this season but has yet to make his bow, with this surely his best chance of some playing time.

Emile Smith Rowe and Joe Willock are expected to get a chance to shine in Europe again, while Folarin Balogun may be handed his first start in a much-changed Arsenal side.
