Nothing that happens in this game will impact anything in the group, but Arsenal and Qarabag have to roll out regardless. Here is what you need to know.

Arsenal will roll into this match against Qarabag with one thing on the mind – stay healthy. If they have room for anything else on the mind, it will be to assess what youngsters stand out, and who looks ready to do something more with the first team.

That should be what drives the decision-making regarding who starts in this one. It has already been concluded that Laurent Koscielny will start in this one after much deliberation, although how long he plays, with so many centerbacks out for the weekend fixture against Southampton, then becomes the question of the day.

As well as who starts next to him, whether it be Sokratis or a youngster. The right answer is the latter, as Sokratis is too necessary to important fixtures in the congested December list, but it’s not up to me, it’s up to Unai Emery.

Elsewhere, you have to figure that youth will be the name of the game. Familiar faces like Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah will almost assuredly be out there, along with the likes of Joe Willock and the main man Matteo Guendouzi.

The other big question is whether or not Mesut Ozil will be healthy, or whether he even has time in his busy Fortnite schedule to see himself onto the pitch for an hour or so.

The injuries are everywhere for the Gunners, and Ozil’s Fortnite-ing isn’t even the chief concern. Thankfully, this match should be a welcome breather for the Gunners to get some youth products out there and allow them to get a chunk of playing time under their belt as we head into the the rest of the holiday fixture period.

Moving on, with this game truly meaningless except for those that just cant get enough of seeing their team on the fixture (quite a bit of us), here are all the ways to watch:
