Team News

Noni Madueke is in concern for a starting spot, with his appearance off the bench in North London his first of the season following a serious injury.

Luuk de Jong was also managed to bring on and maybe hope for a bigger role, while highly-rated Cody Gakpo, who has been linked with Arsenal, need to deliver for PSV if they are to get the three points they need.

Arteta is likely to name a strong team as he attempts to turn next week’s home match against Zurich into a dead rubber, especially given that it comes just a few days before a trip to Stamford Bridge.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is still a major doubt, and Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny are both out for the season, but the Gunners have no other major injury concerns.

Eddie Nketiah, Matt Turner, and Albert Sambi Lokonga should return, with Arteta also likely to call on Gabriel Martinelli and Granit Xhaka.

PSV Eindhoven possible starting lineup;

Benitez, Mwene, Ramalho, Obispo, Max, Veerman, Sangare, Gutierrez, Simons, Til, Gakpo

Arsenal possible starting lineup;

Turner, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Xhaka, Lokogna, Saka, Vieira, Martinelli, Nketiah

PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal Prediction

PSV’s attacking prowess was non-existent last week, whether due to the intimidating Emirates atmosphere or a fear of committing too many bodies forward against a free-flowing Arsenal, but it should be a different story at their Philips Stadion fortress.

Given their recent failure to convert their dominance into goals, we are cautious to back an altered Arsenal side to take all three points here, but Arteta’s men should hold on for the draw securing their place in the last 16.

We say: PSV Eindhoven 1-2 Arsenal
