Arsenal can book their place in the first knockout round of the Europa League with victory over Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.

The Gunners <a href="/football/europa-league/sporting-lisbon-vs-arsenal_game_85705.html">beat the Portuguese side 1-0</a> two weeks ago through a late Danny Welbeck goal to stretch their perfect start in Group E to three matches.

Unai Emery, a three-time winner of this competition with Sevilla, will now be keen to complete the job on home soil this week with a couple of matches to spare.

Here, <strong>Sports Mole</strong> looks at how Arsenal could line up against second-placed Sporting.
