Hello and welcome to the live commentary for the Europa League clash between Arsenal and PSV.
Arsenal are at the top of Group A and will qualify for the Europa League knockout round with a victory over PSV. Two wins over Bodo/Glimt and an away triumph against Zurich have seen Mikel Arteta’s side collect nine points from their opening three fixtures and are two points above today’s opponents. Victory will also see them move closer to finishing as group winners, which will see them avoid the play-off round in February.
Also unbeaten in the Europa League this campaign, PSV will move to the summit of Group A if they beat Arsenal. After a 1-1 draw with Bodo/Glimt in their first match, two emphatic wins over Zurich have seen them earn seven points, scoring 11 goals in the process. Second in the Eredivisie, manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be looking at Cody Gakpo to make the difference, with the 23-year-old scoring 13 goals and assisting 11 in all competitions this season.
ARSENAL SUBS: Cedric Soares, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Thomas Partey, Karl Hein, Martin Odegaard, Marquinhos, Catalin Cirjan, Ben White, Khayon Edwards, Reiss Nelson, Aaron Ramsdale.
ARSENAL (4-2-3-1): Matt Turner; Takehiro Tomiyasu, Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kieran Tierney; Albert Sambi Lokonga, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Fabio Vieira, Eddie Nketiah; Gabriel Jesus.
PSV SUBS: Noni Madueke, Boy Waterman, Richard Ledezma, Mauro Junior, Luuk de Jong, Ki-Jana However, Jarrad Branthwaite, Savio, Johan Bakayoko, Anwar El Ghazi, Joel Drommel, Jordan Teze.
PSV (4-2-3-1): Walter Benitez; Philipp Mwene, Andre Ramalho, Armando Obispo, Philipp Max; Ibrahim Sangare, Erick Gutierrez; Xavi Simons, Joey Veerman, Cody Gakpo; Guus Til.
Arsenal have had more shots than their opponent, as well as 66.6 per cent of the ball, but have failed to make their dominance count. Struggling to get inside the PSV box regularly, with the Dutch outfit defending well, they are snatching at chances. Defending in a solid block, they have sacrificed their attacking output. Gakpo has had just 13 touches and has been nullified by the Arsenal defence.
That's all for today. Goodbye.
Next up, Arsenal travel to Southampton in the Premier League, with PSV going to Groningen in the Eredivisie.
