THE PREDICTION

Arsenal thrashed PSV Eindhoven by four goals to nil to set the tone in Group B, which they sit top of by two points. Lens can overtake the Gunners with victory here but it’s hard to see that happening when taking into account both the form and overwhelming quality of the Gunners going forward. Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten in all competitions this season, winning five of their last six. Their strength-in-depth dwarfs that of the Lens squad and with momentum firmly in their favour, expect Arsenal to triumph against the mid-table Ligue 1 side by at least two clear goals.

TIP: ARSENAL TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
