Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction

This is expected, or at least should, be a one-sided affair in north London. Arsenal have been extremely wasteful with their chances and Mikel Arteta has openly said the Gunners are looking for reinforcements in the January transfer window. Dinamo Zagreb have given themselves a real chance of a top 24 finish and, especially with William Saliba, will fancy their chances of getting at a potentially vulnerable home team. Arsenal are the favourites, especially at the Emirates Stadium, but it could well end up being a high-scoring and entertaining encounter for the neutral.
