Girona-Arsenal, the probable formations

The eighth and final day of the single group stage of the Champions League will see Girona host Arsenal. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Estadi Montilivi. Crucial match for the Gunners, who aim to finish in third place behind Liverpool and Barcelona. To do so, they will have to beat a Girona already out of the game, given only 3 points, and with no more goals in this edition of the tournament.

Michel’s men continue to struggle. The aritmetical elimination from the Champions League, which came with the knockout against AC Milan, is part of a negative series of six defeats in the last eight matches and only 3 points in the Champions League, the result of the only success against Slovan, which place the Spanish team in 31st place in the standings. Problems also in defense with Blind, Gazzaniga and Montiel remaining unavailable.

Arsenal comes from two wins in a row and is unbeaten in four matches. The last success in the Champions League, a clear 3-0 win against Dinamo, consolidated the 3° place with 16 points tied with Inter Milan but with a better goal difference. For the match against Girona, Gabriel Jesus, Saka, White and Tomiyasu are absent through injury.

Probable lineups

Girona (4-3-3): Lopez; Martinez, Juanpe, Krejci, Frances; Martin, Romeu, Gutierrez; Asprilla, Miovski, Danjuma. All: Michel.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Magalhaes, Calafiori; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard. All: Arteta.
