Comments and predictions for Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb: Gunners to win easily

Latest Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb team information

Arsenal's medical staff have endured another busy season, with centre-back William Saliba the latest to join the injury list with a hamstring problem. Saliba will be out for several weeks, adding to an already-injured Arsenal squad that includes Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. However, Ethan Nwaneri and Riccardo Calafiori could return once they have recovered. Arteta has made tactical changes following Saliba's injury, playing Jurrien Timber at centre-back and Thomas Partey at right-back against Villa. However, Partey's error led to the goal, and Arteta is likely to bring Jakub Kiwior back into the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Dinamo Zagreb will travel to the Emirates without veteran striker Bruno Petkovic, who is suffering from an adductor problem. Petkovic, who scored four away goals in the 2020-21 Europa League, is a big loss for Dinamo Zagreb. Sandro Kulenovic could equal Petkovic's record if he scores a goal in the upcoming match. Young midfielder Petar Sucic is also unavailable due to injury. Despite losing two important pillars, Dinamo Zagreb still bring a strong enough squad to the Emirates, and are ready to face Arsenal.

Latest football commentary Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb

After a long absence, the Champions League returns to the Emirates Stadium as a consolation for Arsenal, as they are unbeaten at home in the tournament since losing to Bayern Munich in 2017.

In fact, last season's 2-2 draw with Bayern remains the only time Arsenal have conceded at home in the Champions League under Mikel Arteta, who has won three and kept three clean sheets in 2024-25. The 3-0 win over Monaco leaves Arsenal third on 13 points and virtually guaranteed qualification, while also giving them the chance to set a record of winning three consecutive games by a margin of three goals. The Champions League looks to be Arsenal's best chance of silverware after they fell six points behind Liverpool in the Premier League following a disappointing draw with Aston Villa last weekend. It was their fifth consecutive game without a win.

Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, have been good at home in the Champions League but have had a poor away record, winning just two games against Red Bull Salzburg and Slovan Bratislava. They have also been poor at home, losing to Borussia Dortmund and drawing with Celtic, failing to score after 16 shots. However, under Fabio Cannavaro, they are struggling to maintain their place in the bottom three, just one point ahead of PSG and Stuttgart. They are also poorly prepared for the Arsenal clash, having not played a competitive match since the Christmas break and having played just two friendlies. They have lost their last two visits to the Emirates, most recently a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League in 2015.
