Match Preview: The hosts are most probably to go with a 4-3-3 formation in this clash. Veteran keeper
Unai Emery may select the 4-2-3-1 formation in this encounter. Emiliano Martinez might get a go in between the sticks. Sokratis will be their main man at the back. But the attack is expected to be deadly as it might just be consisted of Aubameyang, Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Lacazette. But with so many matches in shorter time and the main clashes of the Premiere League awaiting, the Stars are not going to play the whole match for sure. They would probably be substituted at one point of this game.
My prediction for this match is a 2-2 draw.
