The news is good ahead of Sporting later. Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac are going to be assessed ahead of the clash whilst the likes of Petr Cech, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sokratis Papastathopoulos have all returned to first-team football after overcoming their injuries. That leaves only Laurent Koscielny and Dinos Mavropanos who are still to be fully integrated back into first-team training.
Arsenal have a big game against Liverpool coming up that they’ll need to be sharp and ready for so tonight’s cash could be one that sees Emery choose to rest a few of his big names. However, the ex-Sevilla and PSG man will know the importance of momentum and getting a win will be the priority whoever they’re up against in future games. After a big win against Leicester on Monday, The Gunners are the bookies’ favourites and the fans will be keen to see some goals away in Portugal.
