Mikel Arteta’s side are top of the Premier League after winning five of their opening six matches, with only Manchester United able to beat them so far.

The Red Devils defeated Arsenal by three goals to one on Sunday afternoon in a game filled with VAR controversy. The Gunners will be eager to get straight back to winning ways in midweek.

Zurich have really struggled of late and they currently sit precariously above bottom spot in the Swiss top tier, saved only by one goal difference.

FCZ are without a win in their last seven and have conceded a concerning 16 goals in that period. Arsenal will no doubt be licking their lips ahead of this clash.
