PRVWThis has to be one of Dundalk's biggest matches.
-
PRVWArsenal will be hoping to build on that win against Rapid Wien tonight. Dundalk lost 2-1 to Molde last week.
-
PRVWThis is Arsenal's first ever match against an Irish team.
-
PRVWDundalk have played English sides 6 times in Europe. They lost 4 times to Liverpool, drew with Tottenham and also lost to them.
-
PRVWI don't expect anything other than an Arsenal win tonight. Yes, they have made lots of changes but Dundalk have only qualified for the group stages once and didn't win an away game. But who knows, there may be an upset.
-
PRVWDundalk XI: Rogers, Gartland, Boyle, Daniel Cleary, Mountney, Murray, Shields, McEleney, Dummigan, Hoban, Duffy.
-
PRVWArsenal XI: Runarsson, Cedric, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Elneny, Xhaka, Nelson, Nketiah, Pepe.
