Arsenal's Recent Struggles

Arsenal is set to return to Champions League action tonight after suffering two consecutive defeats in all competitions. The Gunners controversially lost to Newcastle in the Premier League, followed by a disappointing exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of West Ham. Mikel Arteta's side will be looking to put those setbacks behind them and secure a victory against Sevilla.

Arteta's Outburst

Mikel Arteta faced criticism for his outburst against Premier League officials after the defeat to Newcastle. The Spanish manager will be hoping for a fair match without any controversial decisions going against his team at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

Past Face-Off

Arsenal previously faced Sevilla and came out on top with a solid performance. The North London side secured a 2-0 victory through goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus. Despite Sevilla's efforts to get back into the game, Arteta's team held on and remained at the top of Group B.

Current Form

Arsenal has had a mixed set of results since their win against Sevilla. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to West Ham in the Carabao Cup but managed to win one and lose one in the Premier League. On the other hand, Sevilla has struggled in LaLiga, currently sitting 15th. They have drawn both of their recent league games but secured a 3-0 win in the Copa del Rey.

Team News

Arsenal will be without Gabriel Jesus, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, and Jurrien Timber. Martin Odegaard is also a doubt for the match. Sevilla, on the other hand, will be waiting on the fitness of Sergio Ramos and Marcao, who both missed the weekend's game due to muscle injuries.

Star Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka has been in fine form in the Champions League, scoring one goal and providing two assists in three appearances. He will be crucial to Arsenal's hopes in the competition. For Sevilla, striker Youssef En-Nesyri will be the key player to watch. He has already scored in the Champions League and has performed well against English sides in the past.

Manager's Thoughts

Mikel Arteta wants his team to bounce back from their recent defeats and use the Newcastle loss as motivation for the match against Sevilla. Diego Alonso, the Sevilla boss, sees this fixture as important and plans to field his strongest team.

Prediction

Arsenal is predicted to bounce back and secure a victory against Sevilla. The final scoreline is expected to be Arsenal 3, Sevilla 1.
