Arsenal take on Standard Liege this Thursday needing just one point to secure their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
The Gunners’ last outing in the competition saw them lose 2-1 to Frankfurt – a result which brought Unai Emery’s tenure to a swift end.
Freddie Ljungberg has since taken charge, and tonight overseas his first European match as a senior manager.
Arsenal head into the game on the back of a 3-1 win against West Ham while Standard Liege are unbeaten in their last four fixtures.
Here’s what you need to know for tonight’s showdown:

Arsenal XI: Martinez; Chambers, Sokratis, Mustafi, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Torreira; Saka, Willock, Nelson; Aubameyang.
Prediction
It looks like the Londoners may have stumbled upon a winning formula in the victory against West Ham, having lost their previous encounter against Brighton in an embarassing 2-1 home defeat. There’s a lot of work to be done but on account of the attacking fluidity seen at the London Stadium on Monday night, there’s no reason to believe Arsenal can’t get the job done against Standard Liege. Confidence levels should be back on the up too. A tricky, hard-fought 90 minutes await, but I’m backing Arsenal to edge it.
Standard Liege 1-2 Arsenal
Odds
Standard Liege: 5/2
Draw: 14/5
Arsenal: 19/20
