Arsenal vs BATE Borisov
Europa League 2018-19 | Round of 32, second leg
Venue: Emirates Stadium
Kick-off: 5:55pm GMT, tonight
Arsenal have plenty of work to do if they want to book their place in the Europa League last 16.
BATE Borisov secured a 1-0 in the first-leg clash in Belarus last Thursday after a turgid performance on the road from the Gunners.
Unai Emery is confident his side can turn things around at the Emirates, particularly with his side enjoying a week off from matches in between the two fixtures.
But with the Europa League Arsenal’s last remaining hope of silverware this season, the Spaniard cannot afford anymore slip-ups.
Arsenal team news
Arsenal will be without the suspended Alexandre Lacazette as they look to turn around their Europa League round of 32 tie at home to BATE Borisov on Thursday night.
The striker was sent off late on in a 1-0 defeat to the Belarusian champions a week ago and will miss the return leg.
Aaron Ramsey is fit following a knee injury, while Danny Welbeck (ankle), Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding (both knee) remain sidelined and Ainsley Maitland-Niles is a doubt after missing training on Wednesday with illness.
Meanwhile, Mesut Ozil could be recalled after Unai Emery challenged him to earn his place.
Probable line-ups
Score prediction: Arsenal 3-0 BATE
Arsenal were woeful away from home last time and surely cannot be as wasteful as they were that night.
Even without the suspended Lacazette, there is more than enough firepower in that Arsenal team to get past an opponent they put 10 past over two games in the same competition last season.
