Arsenal v Shakhtar Donetsk, 7.45pm

The Gunners were made to work hard for their 2-1 win over Birmingham City on Saturday, with Arsene Wenger’s team trailing to the Blues before goals from Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh turned the game on its head. It’s been plain sailing for Arsenal in the Champions League so far, with wins over Braga and Partizan Belgrade putting them in a commanding position.

Bet365 offer a best price 8/11 that the Gunners win this match against a Shakhtar team which will contain a familiar face. Eduardo called it a day at the Emirates during the summer and the Croatian will get a great reception from the supporters of his former club. William Hill offer 9/1 that he opens the scoring for the visitors, something which is possible considering that Arsenal are not defending well at the moment.

However, there is plenty to like about Wenger’s team going forward and Marouane Chamakh is proving to be an inspired signing by the manager. The Moroccan is the 9/2 favourite (William Hill) to open the scoring, although it could be more advantageous to back Samir Nasri at 9/1 (William Hill) considering that the Frenchman is the penalty taker, especially if his team-mates continue to go down in the area so easily.

There is no reason why Arsenal shouldn’t continue their free-scoring ways and can be backed at 13/8 (Coral) to lead at half-time and full-time. However, some will prefer the 17/20 with bet365 that there are Over 2.5 Goals in this game.
