Anderlecht v Arsenal, 19:45
Anderlecht are a team with a grand history and tradition at this level, but recent years have turned the Belgian league into a finishing school for the stars of the top European leagues and Arsenal arrive today with the expectation of winning this game and advancing a touch closer to qualification for the knockout stages. After getting turned over by Borussia Dortmund there is some pressure on the Gunners to perform here though, and if Anderlecht play their best and keep up the tempo there is a chance we could see a shock, and a win for the home team that few expect.
Arsenal have an extensive injury list as usual, with big names like Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny joining the likes of Theo Walcott, Mathieu Debuchy, Yaya Sanogo and Nacho Monreal, but it seems as though Mikel Arteta might make the squad at least.
