3 Reasons why Arsenal could surprise Atletico Madrid in the Europa League

#2 Ozil is likely to make a return

Gliding through space and time - Mesut Ozil.

Arsenal were without the services of their mercurial talisman - Mesut Ozil in the league clash against the Hammers.

We don’t yet know if Ozil will be healthy or not, as he is still suffering from the flu that kept him out against West Ham and exposed the potential creative problem that Arsenal have in that regard, but we reckon that the German will be fit again for the clash on Thursday night.

Having lit up the match against CSKA Moscow at the Emirates, in the previous round, we are backing the creative maestro to come up with the goods against Atletico Madrid as well. Arsenal will have make sure that their main man sees most of the ball for his side and then sit back and wait for the Mesut Ozil effect to take full force.
