Team news
Arsenal
Gabriel Martinelli, Calum Chambers (both knee) and Pablo Mari (ankle) are sidelined but Rob Holding (hamstring) returned for the 1-0 victory at Manchester United on Sunday and David Luiz (thigh) is back in contention. Mesut Ozil and Sokratis Papastathopoulos have been left out of the Europa League squad.
Molde
Right back Kristoffer Haraldseid (knee) has been absent since June.
Match preview
Arsenal are striving to wrap up Europa League knockout stage qualification as soon as possible and can make it three wins from three in Group B by defeating Molde at the Emirates.
It is highly likely that the Gunners and Molde, who have also taken six points from six, will be extending their European campaigns at the expense of Rapid Vienna and Dundalk.
But there should be a clear class gap between Mikel Arteta's side, who are 7-1 to lift the trophy and their Norwegian opponents, who are 750-1 shots.
Arteta has been mixing up his selections for Europa League nights and this week is unlikely to be any different.
However, Arsenal's squad depth was demonstrated when they knocked Liverpool out of the EFL Cup and even a second string Gunners' side should be far too strong for Molde, who are second in Norway's top flight – 16 points behind runaway leaders Bodo/Glimt.
Key stat
Arsenal have won eight of their last ten Europa League home fixtures.
