Sevilla can land a blow in defeat
Arsenal won 2-1 in Andalucia last month and a similar story may unfold in London.
A win for the Gunners would be a massive boost to their chances of progressing to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and they should be confident of getting the better of Sevilla again, even if they are coming off back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Newcastle.
Those losses both came on the road, but Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten in 12 home matches, with Arsenal’s last two Emirates outings being a 1-0 win over treble winners Manchester City and a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.
In contrast, Sevilla’s only away win this season came over sixth-tier side Quintanar in the Copa Del Rey which suggests they may leave London empty-handed.
However, they are still capable of scoring at the Emirates. Diego Alonso’s side have netted in all of their Group B games to date and should keep that streak going, with the return of Youssef En-Nesyri a big boost to their chances of scoring against the Gunners.

Martinelli may impact proceedings
With Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard set to miss out with injury, Bukayo Saka seemingly playing with an Achilles problem and Eddie Nketiah’s poor performances against Newcastle and West Ham, Arteta may look to Gabriel Martinelli to provide the greatest attacking threat for the Gunners.
The Brazilian winger scored in Seville and could get the better of ageing right-back Jesus Navas once again.
With Nketiah and Kai Havertz struggling to make an impact in the past two matches, Arteta could deploy Leandro Trossard in the Gunners’ front three, which could provide even more opportunities for Martinelli.
Trossard is likely to drift to his natural left-wing position, meaning Martinelli will interchange with the Belgian and find himself in central positions more often than usual, making him a solid bet to find the net on Tuesday.

Plenty of corners likely at Emirates
The reverse fixture between these sides may have generated only nine corners, but that was an anomaly.
Sevilla’s La Liga matches have seen more corners taken than any other side in the Spanish top flight, at an average of 10.82 per game, with Los Nervinoenses taking over six per game on their own.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have taken 16 more corners than any other side in the Premier League, with their 93 corners in 11 matches meaning they alone are taking over eight per game on average.
With both sides desperate for three points, plenty of action could unfold and a return to a high corner count should occur.
Arsenal vs Sevilla Tip 3: 10 or more corners in the match @ 11/10 with bet365
