Team News

Dundalk
Dundalk have no known injury concerns for this match and Giovagnoli is expected to field his strongest available XI, even if there is little to play for.

The Irish Premier League season finished a month ago, but Dundalk's players have been kept fit with European and domestic cup matches.

Nathan Oduwa and Daniel Kelly led the line in the 3-1 loss at Molde last time out, though the likes of Michael Duffy and Patrick Hoban are also fighting for a starting spot.
Dundalk possible starting lineup:
Rogers; Cleary, Boyle, Gartland; Gannon, Shields, Sloggett, Flores, Dummigan; Hoban, Duffy
Dundalk Europa League form: LLLLL
Dundalk form (all competitions): LWLWLW

Arsenal
As for Arsenal, Thomas Partey limped off on his return to action against Tottenham and is facing another spell on the sidelines, while David Luiz is unlikely to be risked.

Pepe is serving a three-match domestic ban so should be given minutes at the Aviva Stadium, and this is also an opportunity for Pablo Mari to work his way back to fitness.

Elsewhere, Folarin Balogun and Emile Smith Rowe, the latter of whom was on target last time out in the competition, will be hoping to earn rare starts.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Runarsson; Cedric, Holding, Mari, Kolasinac; Elneny, Azeez; Pepe, Willock, Smith Rowe; Balogun
Arsenal Europa League form: WWWWW
Arsenal form (all competitions): LDWLWL

Prediction: Dundalk 0-2 Arsenal
