      Spurs will be without Tanguy Ndombele, who missed the win over Arsenal at the weekend, while Erik Lamela is also injured.

      Antwerp only need a point to finish top and will obviously look to name their strongest possible team, with Lior Refaelov starting up top.

      Arteta defends Aubameyang and reveals Arsenal sent footage of foul throws to FA to demand Bellerin explanation

      by

      MIKEL ARTETA is standing by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and is ‘proud’ of Arsenal’s response to losing at Tottenham.
      Gunners skipper Auba has not scored a Prem goal from open play since their season opener  and is rested for tonight’s Europa League dead rubber at Dundalk.

      The Gunners believe Hector Bellerin’s throw-ins have been ‘harshly’ penalised and have sent ‘worse incidents’ to the FACredit: Getty – Pool

      Boss Arteta said: “No one’s undroppable but we can’t forget what Auba has done  in recent months and not just years ago.
      “I see how he trains, behaves and how he wants to turn this situation around.
      “He has an energy you wouldn’t usually associate with a player who is suffering and when I see that type of hunger I stay strong in my support of that player.

      “We’re not getting the league  results we expect so of course pressure’s  increasing.
      “We played much better against Spurs than we did when we beat Manchester United but you can’t talk about that when you’ve lost the derby 2-0.
      “I could not be any prouder of the response from the players this week.
      “I have seen a team that is united, wants to fight and has a big belief in what we are trying to do.

      “They all want to push each other  and Auba’s been one of the main guys there.”
      Arteta defended full-back Hector Bellerin after a FIFTH foul throw of the season.

      The Gunners boss said: “It was harsh and we sent images to the Premier League of many incidents much worse.
      “We will keep working with Hector and make sure he does the action properly.”
      ARSENAL (likely): Runarsson, Cedric, Chambers, Mari, Kolasinac, Cottrell, Elneny, Azeez, Pepe, Balogun, Smith Rowe.

      Mourinho takes dig at Man Utd as he claims it’s ‘not fair’ they drop into Europa League for failing in Champions League

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO has aimed a dig at old side Manchester United by claiming it’s ‘not fair’ they’ve dropped into the Europa League.
      The Red Devils crashed out of the Champions League after losing 3-2 at RB Leipzig last night, leaving them third in their group behind the Germans and Paris Saint-Germain.

      United now find themselves in familiar territory after reaching the Europa semis last season.
      And they could end up facing Mourinho’s high-flying Tottenham later down the line.
      The Special One reckons United are now one of the favourite to win the Europa League this term.
      But he believes it’s unfair that some clubs who have exited the Champions League get another stab at continental silverware in the Europa.

      Mourinho, who led United to glory in the 2017 final, said: “Of course now United become one of the top favourites to win the competition.
      “The teams that drop from the Champions League are always strong teams.
      “Normally they don’t belong at the level of the Europa League and United is one of the top teams.
      “The group was very hard – PSG, United and Leipzig – and we all knew it.

      “It was not going to be easy for any one of them and we knew, from that group, a top team would drop into the Europa League.
      “It’s a point of principle [disagreeing with third-placed Champions League sides entering the Europa League]. If it happened to my team, I would feel exactly the same.
      “It is the way it is and honestly brings more quality to the competition –  we cannot forget that.
      “When you have eight new teams in the competition and eight teams that belong to another level, and they drop to the Europa, of course the level of the competition is going to improve.

      “No doubts, and when the quality improves, the attention improves. It’s a good thing for the competition.
      “But by the sports point of view is where I think it is not fair. A team that doesn’t succeed in one competition drops to another.
      “Imagine the third team in the Europa League – now there is another competition – and the third team, instead of finishing, goes to another competition in the hierarchy of European football.
      “In football, when for some real we don’t succeed… unlucky, next season. But it is the way it is and is not a problem for me.”

      How Arsenal could line up against Dundalk with Balogun, Azeez and Runarsson as Arteta gives kids a run out

      by

      ARSENAL are on the brink of a crisis after their North London derby defeat to Tottenham at the weekend.
      The result left them languishing 15th in the Premier League after 11 games.

      Mikel Arteta’s side are on the brink of a crisisCredit: Reuters

      Mikel Arteta is likely to heavily rotate his side

      But Mikel Arteta’s side have been able to find solace in the Europa League this term, having won five out of five in the competition.
      Despite already being through, the Spaniard will be desperate to notch another win when his side face Dundalk on Thursday night, to keep the doubters at bay, at least temporarily.
      The 38-year-old is still likely to ring the changes, however, having used the competition as a launchpad for some of his younger talents.
      Summer recruit Alex Runarsson, 25, is set for another run out in the competition between the sticks, having appeared three times so far this term.

      Cedric Soares will likely replace Hector Bellerin at right-back, while Sead Kolasinac returned from a coronavirus layoff against Rapid Vienna last week and could start again in place of Kieran Tierney.
      Pablo Mari marked his return to action with a goal against the Austrians, and will likely step up his recovery with another run-out.
      Shkodran Mustafi has been a regular in the Europa League, and could be called upon ahead of Rob Holding – with Gabriel Magalhaes given the night off and David Luiz still recovering from his nasty cut sustained against Wolves.
      Mohamed Elneny may return at the heart of the midfield and could be partnered by Dani Ceballos.

      Teenager Miguel Azeez will be hoping for a debut, having been an unused substitute twice this season.
      Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka will be rested, while Joe Willock may be utilised further forward.
      Having been suspended in the Premier League, Nicolas Pepe is a certainty to be fielded on the right flank, while Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith-Rowe also vie for Willian’s usual place in the attacking midfield trident.

      Eddie Nketiah may be given the nod upfront, although Folarin Balogun could be given a first Gunners start, having scored against Molde from the bench.
      Alex Lacazette may be involved, although Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hasn’t featured in the Europa League since matchday one.
      Gabriel Martinelli is nearing a return, having featured for the Under-21s in the EFL Trophy this week – but won’t quite be ready for this one.
