Wednesday
Dynamo Zagreb Vs Arsenal Stadion Maksimir at 9:45pm.
After finishing third last season in the English premier league and avoiding Champions League play offs, Arsenal are in Group F alongside Dynamo Zagreb, Olympiakos and former champions Bayern Munich.
In today’s match against Zagreb, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is likely to feature a ‘weak’ side in Croatia, considering he faces a
strong opponent at the weekend in names of Chelsea.
The North London team is still riding high following a 2-0 win over Stoke City last Saturday, and will be keen to maintain a clean sheet
against Zagreb at home in Croatia.
In the last three matches played in all competitions, Dynamo Zagreb has scored 11 goals and conceded only one goal, while Arsenal sits
fourth with 10 points from five games in the English Premier League. Likely starters likely to be rested include Hector Bellerin, Nacho
Monreal, Santi Carzola, Mesut Ozil and Coquelin. But Per Mertesacker,who has been out with a virus is expected on the pitch alongside Skipper Mikel Arteta, goalkeeper Peter Cech, Gabriel Paulista, Laurent Koscielny, Theo James Walcott, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Mathieu Debuchy, Olivier Giroud, Kieran Gibbs, and Alexis Sanchez.Danny Wellbeck, Thomas Rosicky and Jack Welshere still out injured.
Arsenal last met dynamo in 2006 and the gunners won in Croatia. Meanwhile, in the other games tonight, Porto goal keeper Iker Casillas is set to make a record equaling 151st Champions League appearance when his team faces Dynamo Kiev in a Group G opener in Ukraine.
The 34-year old Spanish who left Real Madrid in the summer will match the record number set by former Barcelona captain hernandez Xavi Creus at Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Ukraine.
