PSV Eindhoven
PSV did receive a wealth of fitness boosts prior to last week's defeat to Arsenal, as Noni Madueke, Mauro Junior and Luuk de Jong were all passed fit to make the journey, but the latter still needs to build up his fitness and may watch Guus Til continue to lead the line for now.
Madueke should not be considered for a start just yet either having missed a number of months with an ankle injury, and Van Nistelrooy remains without Yorbe Vertessen (muscle), Marco van Ginkel (hamstring), Ismael Saibari (muscle), Kjell Peersman (back) and Olivier Boscagli (knee) for the visit of the Gunners.
Changes will surely be afoot following the weekend's disappointment, with Erick Gutierrez and Phillipp Mwene in line to return, and the former's inclusion should see Xavi Simons pushed further forward to demote Anwar El Ghazi to the bench.
PSV Eindhoven possible starting lineup:
Benitez; Mwene, Ramalho, Obispo, Max; Veerman, Sangare, Gutierrez; Simons, Til, Gakpo
Arsenal
As for Arsenal, Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe are still sidelined with their hamstring and groin injuries, although Oleksandr Zinchenko is edging closer to his return from a calf problem.
Arteta has spoken about the importance of his side securing a first-placed finish in the group and will be expected to go strong here, but Matt Turner, Kieran Tierney, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Rob Holding can still feel confident of earning recalls.
Xhaka is one yellow card away from incurring a European ban, and it would arguably be ideal for the Switzerland captain - who could make his 50th Europa League appearance - to be cautioned this week and in turn serve that suspension in the final group game.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Turner; Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Lokonga; Saka, Vieira, Martinelli; Nketiah
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 1-1 Arsenal
