On Wednesday, there's UEFA Champions League action Emirates Stadium in London, where Arsenal welcome Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb. The Gunners have essentially completed the job in the league phase, likely needing just one point from their final two games to progress to the knockouts in the all-important top eight. For the visitors, it's a slightly different story. The Zagreb boys have battled hard and as such still have a chance of making the knockouts, but they'll need to get one, maybe two positive results to make the play-offs, so they could really do with avoiding defeat here. Can they do it? We'll soon find out.

Our Arsenal vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction

This is naturally going to be a tough ask for the visitors, though the Gunners haven't exactly been in perfect defensive form of late, conceding in each of their last six games, conceding twice last time out. We've also seen the visitors make headway on the break against teams this season, so don't be surprised if their chief threat Sandro Kulenovic gets involved in front of goal. Given his rather encouraging stats in this competition, Kulenovic looks a little generously priced to work David Raya int he Arsenal goal at least once. Our Pick: Sandro Kulenovic Over 0.5 Shots on Target. 

Prediction:
