Player to watch – Mikel Merino
Versatile Spaniard Mikel Merino has stepped up in the absence of some specialist, but injured, Arsenal strikers in recent weeks and the 28-year-old showcased the quality of his finishing again in midweek with a superb strike against Real Madrid.
Merino knows how to finish
Merino has scored four times in his last six appearances for club and country overall and the converted forward is playing with enough confidence to turn another chance into a goal for Arsenal against Brentford.
