The Gunners can secure a place in the last 16 of the Champions League if they beat Sevilla and PSV Eindhoven are beaten by Lens in the other game in Group B.
A win would be the ideal response after a bad week in which Arsenal were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham and then had their unbeaten start in the Premier League ended against Newcastle.
Their performance in that 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park has been largely overlooked due to the VAR controversy around Anthony Gordon’s winner, and Mikel Arteta’s attack on referees afterwards. But Arsenal failed to score for the first time this season in Saturday’s match.
Creativity has been an issue for the Gunners, who are ranked 15th in the Premier League this season for ‘big chances created’.
Injuries have been a key factor behind a lack of cohesion, and only twice in their first 17 games have Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard all started together.
