Latest Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb team news
Arsenal's medical staff continues to have a busy season as centre-back William Saliba has latest to join the injury list with a hamstring problem. Saliba will be out for several weeks, adding to Arsenal's already depleted squad which includes Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Jesus. However, Ethan Nwaneri and Riccardo Calafiori could return after recovering from injury. Manager Arteta made tactical adjustments following Saliba's injury, using Jurrien Timber at centre-back and Thomas Partey at right-back in the match against Villa. However, Partey's error led to a goal conceded, and Arteta may bring Jakub Kiwior back into the starting lineup for the next game.
Meanwhile, Dinamo Zagreb will travel to the Emirates without veteran striker Bruno Petkovic, who is suffering from an groin injury. Petkovic, who scored four away goals in the 2020-2021 Europa League, is a major 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 key players, Dinamo Zagreb still brings a strong enough squad to the Emirates, ready to face Arsenal.
After ending a long absence from European competition, the Champions League matches at the Emirates Stadium brought some consolation to Arsenal, as they had never before experienced such a period of absence.

Latest football match prediction: Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb
After a long absence, the Champions League returned to the Emirates Stadium as a consolation prize for Arsenal, as they remained unbeaten at home in the competition since their defeat to Bayern Munich in 2017.
Even the 2-2 draw with Bayern last season was the only time Arsenal conceded a goal at home in the Champions League under Mikel Arteta, who has led them to three wins and three clean sheets in the 2024-2025 season. The 3-0 victory against Monaco puts Arsenal third with 13 points and virtually guarantees qualification, while also giving them the chance to set a record of three consecutive wins by a three-goal margin. The Champions League seems to be Arsenal's best chance to win the title after they fell six points behind Liverpool in the Premier League following a disappointing draw with Aston Villa last weekend. That was their fifth consecutive match without a win.
Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, while performing well at home in the Champions League, have a poor away record, winning only two matches against Red Bull Salzburg and Slovan Bratislava. They also have poor home form, losing to Borussia Dortmund and drawing with Celtic, failing to score in 16 shots. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Fabio Cannavaro, they are trying to maintain their position at the bottom of the qualification group, just one point ahead of PSG and Stuttgart. The team also has poor preparation ahead of their clash with Arsenal, having played no official matches since the Christmas break and only two friendlies. They have lost their last two visits to the Emirates, most recently a 0-3 defeat against Arsenal in the 2015 Champions League.
