Анализ на прогнозата
Team News
- Rennes’ game with Nimes at the weekend was postponed to give them longer to prepare for Thursday’s first leg against Arsenal.
- The French side could be missing as many as five players through injury in midweek.
- Former Newcastle playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa and long-time Arsenal target Ismaila Sarr are the players to watch from the home side.
- Hamari Traoré is suspended for Rennes and will need replacing at right-back, but Benjamin Andre is back after missing their last Europa League outing because of a ban.
- Alexandre Lacazette will miss both legs of this Europa League tie after UEFA handed the Frenchman an additional two-match ban in the competition. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the line as a result.
- Lucas Torreira can expect to start on Thursday, as the combative midfielder begins a three-game ban in domestic games at the weekend.
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles was on the bench against Tottenham on Saturday and will hope to start here following a short spell on the sidelines. Mesut Özil will also push to start against Rennes.
- Rennes impressively knocked Real Betis out in the last round, coming through that tie 6-4 winners on aggregate. The French side are unbeaten in their last 12 home matches in all competitions.
- Arsenal have only won two of their last 10 away matches in all competitions and lost away to BATE Borisov in the last round of the Europa League, before running out 3-0 winners at home.
- The Gunners are favourites over two legs but their away form has not been good this season and they may still have a lot of work to do when they return to the Emirates.
