Arsenal: Emery not 'comfortable' with strikers says Campbell
The Gunners are facing Rennes away at Roazhon Park tonight. Thursday’s Europa League clash will be the first ever meeting between the two sides and Arsenal go into the showdown as the favourites. However, with just one defeat in their last eight, Rennes will be confident against the north London side.
Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to start up front after Alexandre Lacazette was suspended.
French forward Lacazette was dismissed for elbowing Aleksandar Filipovic in the 86th minute during Arsenal’s surprise defeat to BATE Borisov in the last round.
He has been suspended for three matches and will therefore miss both of Arsenal's last-16 Europa League games against Rennes.
In addition, the Gunners will be without Hector Bellerin, Danny Welbeck and Rob Holding, who all remain out of contention after suffering long-term injuries.

Rennes central midfield James Lea Siliki and striker Jordan Siebatcheu will also miss tonight’s clash.
Arsenal have clicked back into form recently following an inconsistent patch and has won three of their last four Premier League games.
And a victory against Rennes tonight could mean Arsenal are heading for their first European quarter-final since 2010.
