Gunners begin Europa quest
After failing to win their first six games in a league season to the extent they hadn’t since 1947. Arsenal are now turning their focus towards continental competitions as they prepare for the Europa League return on Thursday. Although Mikel Arteta may look to introduce a few changes to start an extremely busy time and the Gunners couldn’t have asked for an opponent more formidable than the struggling FC Zurich.
Zurich have had a disastrous beginning to the title defense with just 2 points in their first seven Super League games. From the moment Franco Foda took charge in the summer and the Swiss club have only defeated Linfield in the first two games. Hearts throughout the competition and, in addition to dropping young forward Wilfried Gnotto Leeds United, have suffered from defensive problems. In fact, Zurich have averaged over two goals conceded per match in league play, and have had five of their seven games this season with three goals or more.
Arsenal On contrary are flying and will be disappointed by the failure of their team to show their dominance when they play Manchester United on Sunday. Arteta’s squad has the fourth-best attack in the Premier League with 14 goals smashed from 11.8 anticipated goals (xG) The latter number is the third-highest. Arsenal are likely to be dominant in Switzerland however, they have committed several high-profile defensive mistakes as five of their most recent six matches containing more than 2.5 goals.
Arsenal will bounce back after a an impressive win
While Arsenal will rotate their squad on their journey to Switzerland The flurry of injuries – especially in midfield have slowed Arteta’s ability to move which means that the Gunners must pick a solid enough squad to win the victory. They’ll, without doubt be aware of their competition’s potential to be a means of launching to the Champions League.
Arsenal have averaged more than 17 shot per game during the Premier League this term, and should be able take advantage of a weak home backline in a match that has more than 2.5 goals and the possibility of a 3-1 win away to be a reasonable prediction.
With Gabriel Jesus likely to be resting, Eddie Nketiah, who reached the double figures in every competition this season, might be a contender for a spot in the first team an effort.
