Arsenal 12-1 for glory in the Europa

If the Gunners, now bottom of their group, are to stay in the competition they must beat visitors Dinamo Zagreb while hoping Bayern Munich take three points from Olympiakos at the Allianz Arena. With 12 points, Munich would hold the lead in the group and would just have to take down Dinamo Zagreb to clinch first place. The pressure is huge.

With such a precarious position, Arsenal’s buildup has hardly been ideal. They have up to 9 players missing from the squad. “Now we cannot change it and the only thing we can do is bounce back on Tuesday night”.

It’s a huge blow to the Gunners’ chances of progression in Europe, and Premier League title chances, as Coquelin faces the rest of 2015 out with a knee injury.

Sitting 2nd behind Rijeka, Zagreb have lost only twice this season in the league.

Zoran Mamic’s side bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Olympiakos Piraeus in their most recent Champions League encounter by recording back-to-back wins in the Croatian First Football League.

This is the story of Arsène Wenger’s last decade at the north London club, a tale of unfulfilled promise, of frustration, of inconsistency and – ultimately – of failure.

The Gunners have won just once in four group stage matches thus far, and lie six points behind group leaders Bayern Munich and Olympiacos.

Spurs are playing their fifth straight season in the Europa League, having finished fourth in 2009/10 to qualify for the Champions League when they didn’t have a European distraction. The website is also featured on News Now.

Mathieu Flamini, who came on as a sub against the Baggies, is likely to partner Santi Cazorla in the middle of the park.

Arsenal will see the return of Aaron Ramsey, but it may be too little too late.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is still nursing a hamstring strain so he’ll remain on the sidelines along with Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky. Not only will he be absent at the Emirates, but Dinamo will be without the suspended defender Josip Pivaric.

Midfielder Arijan Ademi failed a drugs test following Dinamo’s surprise 2-1 victory over Arsene Wenger’s side on matchday one and has been banned for four years by UEFA, though he has always protested his innocence.

Any other scenario and Arsenal’s 15-season run of qualifying for the knockout phase of the Champions League (a sequence bettered only by Real Madrid) will be over.

5- Dinamo Zagreb have lost five times in their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Do you agree with our predictions? I had it in my head that this game was on Wednesday, not Tuesday. “No one should bet on me to become next manager”.
