Arsenal vs Kairat Almaty: Champions League preview

This is the very deadest of rubbers. Arsenal are through and will finish first out of the Champions League's 36. Opponents Kairat, the champions of Kazakhstan, are out and will finish last.

The visitors' only point to date came at home courtesy of a goalless draw against Cypriot outfit Pafos. They've scored against Sporting CP, Club Brugge and Inter Milan, though, as well as twice against Copenhagen.

In truth, it's all academic. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta can relax – in theory, at least – and will be expected to use some of his squad depth as the Premier League title race starts to warm up.

The package includes four drinks, one food item, and a half-time complimentary drink. Guests also receive a £5 merchandise voucher and a complimentary Museum Tour, ensuring an elevated and comprehensive matchday experience for home supporters.

Some of Arteta's changes will be enforced. Midfielders Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are both suspended as a result of yellow card accumulation, while defenders Jurrien Timber and William Saliba have knocks and will be left out.

Arteta and Arsenal have earned this freedom. The Champions League has been plain sailing all the way, stopping off at seven consecutive wins and just two goals conceded.

There are three unbeaten teams in the Europa League after seven games but the Gunners are the only one in the top competition. With Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club and Bayern all seen off, that's an impressive campaign.

Time will tell whether this or Kairat's visit from Real Madrid will be the biggest mismatch in this season's Champions League. Los Blancos were 5-0 winners in Almaty.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Arsenal 5-0 Kairat Almaty

Even with some second-stringers in the line-up, Arsenal should be running up a score to match Real Madrid's in Kazakhstan.
