TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Emi Martínez is ruled out with injury (and suspension) and Unai Emery opts for Robin Olsen as replacement. A game that should have been a shoe-in now is really in the balance. No disrespect meant but Olsen simply isn't up to the standard expected. A nervous back four means a clean sheet would be a huge result out of this game. That's unlikely though, Olsen has conceded twelve in just four Premier League games so far this season.
