Arsenal have welcomed two first-team players Sokratis and Petr Cech as they aim for 11th consecutive victory across competitions.
Arsenal extended their winning run to 10 games across all competitions last weekend, as they cruised to victory against Leicester City. Unai Emery’s are on a seven-match winning run in the Premier League and are yet to drop points since losing their first two games of the season.
In the Europa League, Arsenal have won both of their games so far, and will take on Sporting Lisbon on Thursday this week.
Unai Emery’s side is currently 4th in the Premier League table, level on points with 3rd placed Chelsea.
Mesut Ozil was influential for Arsenal in the game against Leicester City, as he scored the first goal and was key to both the goals in the second half. The former German international would be keen on continuing his good run when he faces the Portuguese side.
