Arsenal will be preparing to end their Europa League group stage campaign on a high as they look to secure their spot in the last 16 of the Europa League competition after a disappointing defeat to PSV Eindhoven last Thursday. Mikel Arteta's side put on a below-par performance at the Philips Stadion which saw them lose 2-0 against Ruud van Nistelrooy's side and miss out on securing a place in the last 16.
The Gunners are, unsurprisingly, the heavy favourites at 1/7 with Betfred while the visitors are a lengthy 16/1 and a draw is 7/1. The Gunners have won 14 of their 17 matches this season in all competitions and are expected to extend that impressive run, even with an expected rotated side, against a Zurich side who have struggled with form lately despite winning their last two matches.
Arteta would have been left frustrated with what he saw in Eindhoven last week but fortunately have a second chance to secure top spot in Group A and avoid having to go into the knockout round play-offs, avoiding the likes of Barcelona, Sevilla, Ajax Bayer Leverkusen and Sporting who have dropped from the Champions League.

Player to watch
Fabio Vieira would have been disappointed with what he produced in his last outing in an Arsenal shirt. The Portuguese midfielder failed to stamp his authority on the wing against PSV but equally he has played all his matches in the middle in Europe. A return to a more central midfield role would pay dividends for the 22-year-old I think and he is 13/8 to score anytime against the worst defence in the group stages with 15 goals.
