GUNS BLAZING!!!!

ARSENAL SET TO CONTINUE THEIR IMPRESSIVE FORM AS THEY WELCOME  FC BASEL  AS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CONTINUE

Arsenal have looked pretty solid to kick off the 2016/17 season, after overcoming a shaky start and a tough loss at home to Liverpool. Since then, they’ve looked capable of beating anybody and Wenger’s team are certainly on the rise. Could this be their year? Who knows, but next up is FC Basel in the Champions League, and a win is crucial.

It’ll be another interesting match to watch. The two teams will be playing each other for the first time, they haven’t played each other in the past. So far the most uncertain group, where all teams have identical score, hopefully, after this round, will separate winners from the losers.

Basel have been in the best of form, their draw against Ludogorets in the Champions league was their first game without a win. They are currently on top of Swiss Super League table with 27 points from 9 games.

Arsenal will be without Olivier Giroud for the visit of the Swiss club with the striker facing a one-game suspension after he was sent off for a second bookable offence in the final minutes of the game against the Ligue 1 champions. Francis Coquelin will also be absent after picking up a knee injury during the win against the Blues on Saturday. Aaron Ramsey will only be back after the International break.
