Team News:
Galatasaray
midfielder Blerim Dzemaili is set to miss this game with injury while Selcuk
Inan has to suffer his suspension.
Meanwhile, the away side are full of injured players and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will
give a change to the new players as they have already secured the spot.
Alexis
Sanchez and Laurent Koscielny both are rested while Olivier Giroud is ineligible
to play as he was not registered for the group stages.
Summer
signing Mathieu Debuchy is back and is likely to take his right-side role in the
defence.
Mesut
Özil, David Ospina, Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby are all out with their
injuries.
Stats:
- Galatasaray is already out of every European competition at this point. They cannot even get the Europa spot.
- A goal for the Turkish side will be their 100th goal in the Champions League.
- The Gunners have lost two games out of their last five games in all competitions.
- Aaron Ramsey has netted four goals in five games against the Turkish clubs.
Prediction:
Galatasaray
2 – 1 Arsenal.
A win for the home side will not secure their spot for the next round, even they cannot get the third spot. While Arsenal's win might take them to top depending on the other game between Borussia Dortmund and Anderlecht.
