ARSENAL'S confidence is sky high after their brilliant North London Derby demolition of Spurs and they welcome Norwegian dark horses Bodo-Glimt to the Emirates on Thursday.
However, Mikel Arteta is likely to send out a very different-looking Gunners side than the one that beat Tottenam Hotspur on Saturday lunchtime with a huge clash at home to Liverpool awaiting them on Sunday.
Arsenal have only played one of their Europa League games so far – a win in Switzerland against FC Zurich after their home game against PSV Eindhoven was postponed last month.
They should have more than enough to get through their group anyway, but while they are doing so terrifically well in the Premiership, they will very much prioritise the league over Europe.
Bodo-Glimt introduced themselves into the European stage last season with a stunning 6-1 win over Jose Mourinho's Roma and they followed that up by beating Celtic easily home and away.
Kjetil Knutsen's men will give up their Norwegian title this season – they are 15 points behind Molde – and will want to make another big impact in Europe.
They have already served notice by drawing at PSV Eindhoven and beating Swiss champions FC Zurich.
How the bookies view it
Despite the likelihood of a much-rotated team, Arsenal are still heavy odds-on favourites at 2/9 with Coral. Bodo-Glimt can be backed at 14/1 with BetVictor and the draw is 6/1.
Recent head to heads
The clubs have never met before.
Players to watch
Eddie Nketiah is poised to start in Europe with several of Arsenal's fringe players set to get their chance as he did against FC Zurich where he scored. The 23-year-old is evens to score with UniBet.
Runar Espejord was signed from rivals Tromso in January and has hit a respectable ten goals this season for his new club. He is 24/5 with William Hill to score.
Anything else catch the eye?
Arsenal appear to have a great atmosphere around their club at the moment and even with a much-changed line-up, they should to too strong for the soon-to-be-deposed Norwegian champions, who can contribute to what should be an entertaining game.
The hosts are clearly far too short to back as a single, but they are a good watch this season and there could be goals here. Try an Arsenal win and over 3.5 goals at 6/5 with Boylesports.
Eight of the last nine of Bodo-Glimt's games have seen both teams score and they should be able to breach the Gunners;' defence tonight. They don't do sitting back no matter who they are playing.
They are evens with bet365 to score before the 79th minute and they are capable of doing that.
