Arsenal will take on Valencia at the Emirates Stadium in a crucial Europa League semi-final clash tonight.
The Europa League looks to be the Gunners best bet for securing qualification for next season’s Champions League after three league losses in a row.
Arsenal are now fifth in the Premier League - two points behind fourth placed Chelsea with only two games left in the season to play.
Speaking ahead of tonight’s clash with Valencia, Arsenal boss Unai Emery said: “Now it's the Europa League, it's both a way to win a title and also a path into the Champions League.
“We want to treat this semi-final like something important.”
Emery will be facing off against his former club which is now home to two ex-Arsenal players - Francis Coquelin and Gabriel Paulista.
One of their old teammates and soon-to-be Arsenal allumni Aaron Ramsey won’t be featuring in tonight’s game.
Ramsey, who will leave for Juventus in the summer on a free transfer, is out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.
