Arsenal look to respond after their shock defeat to Lens in the last round of the Champions League group stages when they travel to Spain to take on Sevilla.
Mikel Arteta’s side got their campaign up and running with a comprehensive win over PSV but were brought crashing down to earth with a 2-1 loss in France – their only defeat of the season so far – to leave them second in the group.
Sevilla have two draws from their opening two group games but have endured a torrid start to their domestic campaign, with Jose Luis Mendilibar sacked during the international break.
Diego Alonso is the new man in the reigning Europa League champions’ dugout and got off to a solid start after a hard-fought 1-1 home draw against Real Madrid on Saturday.
