Atalanta Update

Gian Piero Gasperini has turned Atalanta into a proper European force, as evidenced with their Europa League demolition job on Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin in May when Ademola Lookman netted a stunning hat-trick. Now they will look to make the step up in to the Champions League. The loss of midfielder Teun Koopmeiners to Juventus is one they have to overcome as he was a key playmaker, but the arrival of striker Mateo Retegui – amongst others – has softened that blow. The Argentine forward is clinical and has the physical power to pose real questions of the Arsenal backline.

Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca both remain long-term absentees with ACL injuries but Gasperini will have been thrilled to see his front three of Lookman, Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere all finding the net at the weekend.

Arsenal Update

Arteta showed a different side tactically on Sunday as his side were compact and rigid in their win over Spurs. They took advantage of the hosts' shortcomings defending set pieces to get that win. This may require something different but under Arteta this side are showing real adaptability. Of course, the next step is to win silverware and nobody will be more aware of that than Arteta. Declan Rice was suspended on Sunday but returns here, though skipper Odegaard is set to miss out again. The Gunners came up short in their quarter-final with Bayern Munich last season, undone by mistakes at home in the first leg, but this squad is maturing all the time and a step further – at least – will be the ultimate aim this season in Europe.

Skipper Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko are sidelined at the moment but Arsenal posses the strength in depth to cope and the return of anchorman Rice in the middle of the field is a major bonus.
