Arsenal will be looking to book their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League tonight.

The Gunners face CSKA at the VEB Arena tonight while kick-off is scheduled for 20:05 (GMT).

Arsene Wenger’s side know their only route to playing UEFA Champions League football next season is to win the Europa League. However, Wenger has failed to register a victory in his last three visits to Russia.

Fortunately for the French tactician, Arsenal registered a comfortable 4-1 win in the first leg.

Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan is ruled out for tonight’s clash with an injury while Granit Xhaka is sidelined with the flu.

Star playmaker Musut Ozil returns to the starting eleven after being rested over the weekend against Southampton.
