Arsenal

The Gunners would rely on Martin Odegaard’s creativity if they want to secure a convincing win this Tuesday night. Both Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard need to have a good game as they would carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the North London club up top.

The performance of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Ruben Neves at the centre of the park could go a long way in deciding the fate of this clash.
