Arsenal will look to build on their first win under interim coach Freddie Ljungberg when they travel to face Standard Liege in the Europa League on Thursday.
The Gunners just need to avoid defeat to qualify for the knockouts, while Standard must beat the North London side by a heavy margin and also rely on Vitoria beating Eintracht Frankfurt.
Following a painful run that saw Arsenal fail to win nine games in a row, Ljungberg’s men finally received some joy during a 3-1 win over West Ham United.
The manner in which Arsenal kicked into life after grabbing an equaliser, with Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang killing the game in the second half, was a sign of how this team relies so heavily on confidence.
Under Unai Emery, the Gunners attacked with good precision and intent, only to find themselves undone by the slightest piece of confusion at the back, consequently causing performances to flatline.
Ljungberg’s main task, therefore, is to restore a sense of core stability to the heart of this Arsenal team – to create a stable platform from which to dominate games over 90 minutes.
They have an excellent chance to do exactly that when they travel to Belgium in their final group-stage clash of this season’s Europa League. (Sports Mole)
