ARSENAL UPDATE

The Gunners approach Sunday’s match following the disappointment of a 3-1 defeat away to Rennes, in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Alex Iwobi gave Unai Emery’s men the perfect start in north-west France, but the game turned after a red card was awarded to defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos. The Breton side immediately fought their way back into the contest, equalising before half-time and adding two further strikes in the second period.

On Sunday, Arsenal will be without midfielder Lucas Torreira, who received a red card for a tackle on Danny Rose in last weekend’s north London derby. The Uruguayan will miss three games. Also likely to be unavailable are long-term absentees Hector Bellerin (knee), Rob Holding (knee) and former United forward and Academy graduate Danny Welbeck (ankle).
