Arsenal FC team news: Predicted Gunners line-up for Europa League semi-final v Atletico Madrid

Arsenal are hoping to move one step closer to the Europa League final when they face Atletico Madrid at the Emirates this evening.

The Gunners have progressed to the semi-finals of Europe's seconday continental competition with relative ease, and Arsene Wenger will be hoping to win his first ever European honour in his final season in north London.

However, Diego Simeone's fearsome side stand in their way, with a squad including the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Koke and Saul considered favourites for the trophy.

There is some good news for Arsenal, though, as their nemesis, Diego Costa, is unavailable for the first leg due to a hamstring problem.
