Match preview

Arsenal have looked in a class of their own in Europa League Group B but a trip to Molde is probably their toughest task in the section and there may be value grounds to oppose Mikel Arteta's side, who are odds-on favourites to make it four wins from four.

The Gunners would prefer to clinch knockout-stage qualification as early as possible but Arteta has a mounting absentee list. Sead Kolsinac and Mohamed Elneny have tested positive for Covid-19 while Bukayo Saka, Willian and Thomas Partey are injured, and the manager needs to manage his resources in the run-up to Sunday's Premier League match at home to Wolves.

If any points are to be dropped this week, Arteta would much prefer that to happen in Norway than north London.

And Molde, who have won two of three Europa League games and sit second in the Norwegian top flight, may be capable of exploiting a dip in Arsenal's performance.

Key stat

Molde have lost one of their last ten matches.
