Benfica

Benfica are in a predicament at right-back with Andre Almeida and Gilberto both nursing injuries, so Diogo Goncalves will continue to deputise in defence.

Jardel is another long-term absentee for the Portuguese side, who should welcome Odysseas Vlachodimos back in between the sticks, while Pizzi - tied with Lille's Yusuf Yazici at the top of the Europa League scoring charts with six - will also hope to return to the first XI.
Several ex-Premier League players will be renewing hostilities with Arsenal this week, as Jan Vertonghen, Nicolas Otamendi and Adel Taarabt are all in line for starts for Benfica.
Benfica possible starting lineup:
Vlachodimos; Goncalves, Otamendi, Vertonghen, Grimaldo; Silva, Taarabt, Weigl, Pizzi; Nunez, Seferovic
Benfica Europa League form: WWDDWD
Benfica form (all competitions): WLDWWD

Arsenal
Arsenal have confirmed that they will speak to Aubameyang over an alleged breach of coronavirus protocols, but at this stage there is nothing to suggest that he will not be involved on Thursday.

The Gunners captain did take a kick to the ankle in the dying embers against Leeds but should be fine for this one, but there is less optimism over the fitness of Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney, both of whom are likely to miss out.

Nicolas Pepe struck three times and provided three assists in the group stage, and given the fact that Benfica may have to do without both recognised right-backs, the Ivory Coast international will be hopeful of starting on the left-hand side.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Leno; Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Cedric; Xhaka, Ceballos; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Aubameyang
Arsenal Europa League form: WWWWWW
Arsenal form (all competitions): LWDLLW

Prediction: Benfica 1-2 Arsenal
