Arsenal face their toughest test in the Europa League this Thursday as they play PSV in the fourth round of fixtures for Group A. The match is the only match in the competition going ahead after the clash was rescheduled due to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Should Arsenal win, they will go five points clear at the top and know one win from the final two games will secure the top spot. This is key because finishing second in the group requires a team to play an effective play-off round against a Champions League dropout in a Round of 32.
Whilst Mikel Arteta has heavily rotated for teams so far throughout this European campaign, that could change significantly with the visit of PSV. The likes of Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons present Mikel Arteta’s side with a much sterner test, having scored 17 goals in their last four games.
