Gunners in good position ahead of European return
Arsenal return to Champions League duty this week as Dinamo Zagreb come to town.
Mikel Arteta’s side currently sit third in the new-look Champions League table but know two victories from their final two games would guarantee safe progression into the knockout rounds.
The Gunners, however, threw a two-goal lead away to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa on Saturday in a fresh blow to their Premier League title challenge.
Last time out in Europe, they smashed Sporting CP 5-1 and will be heavy favourites against the Croatian side.
Zagreb are just about in the play-off spots as things stand but are up against it in their trip to north London.

Arsenal’s injury list remains plentiful. William Saliba missed the Villa game and Arteta has confirmed he is “very worried” about the defender’s hamstring injury.
Riccardo Calafiori, Ethan Nwaneri, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus all sat out the game.
The likes of Jorginho and Jakub Kiwior could come into the side to start here if Arteta does opt to rotate.
Bruno Petkovic is a doubt for Dinamo Zagreb, while midfielder Petar Sucic is set to miss out.
