Girona vs Arsenal preview

Arsenal know a point or more will guarantee them progression to the knockouts as one of the top eight sides.

In fact, even defeat would mean an unlikely outcome of results to knock them out their position, which helps evade the play off rounds.

So how might that impact Mikel Arteta’s team selection, with two mammoth games up next.

Their fading title hopes mean no slip-ups and that’s put to the test at home to the champions Manchester City.

Just a few days later they’re up north to try and overturn a 2-0 deficit in the Carabao Cup semi final against Newcastle.

So it’s probably just as well they’re already essentially through and face a mid-table La Liga side who are already out.

The Gunners are still upset with Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Myles Lewis-Skelly but recovered well to beat ten-man Wolves on Saturday.

Girona have just three points from their seven games, sitting 31st of 36 in the Champions League table and eighth in La Liga having lost their last three games in all competitions.

Girona vs Arsenal predictions and tips

Combo

Despite all that’s been said above, I still fancy Arsenal to get the better of the Spanish side.

They have nothing to play for and Mikel Arteta will be keen for his side to keep up some momentum heading into a crucial few days.

Kai Havertz will likely lead the line as they don’t really have anyone else that can play there, so this selection is based around him.

He’s no (Y)angel

Girona will likely spend the majority of the night without the ball, so looking for their players in the booking markets brings us to one man.

Yangel Herrera SIX bookings from 12 La Liga appearances and one in his four showings in this competition.

The central midfielder isn’t long back from injury and has been booked in two of his three starts since. In a competitive part of the field too and his price looks awfully generous.
