ARSENAL head into Thursday’s clash against Olympiakos as remarkably the only top side in Europe who haven’t lost in 2020.
Defeats for giants Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool last night mean Mikel Arteta’s men boast the unlikely record.
French champions PSG were stunned by Erling Haaland’s brilliance in a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund while Liverpool proved they are beatable after a 1-0 defeat at Atletico.
It leaves the Gunners as the only club from Europe’s top five leagues yet to taste defeat this decade.
Arteta has steadied the ship since his appointment in December having lost just once that came in a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea before the New Year.
Since then they are unbeaten in eight and confidence is obviously growing among the squad as they adjust to Arteta’s philosophy.
Following their 4-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday, the Gunners are big favourites to progress against the Greek side.
The Arsenal squad were being put through their paces at their London Colney training complex on Wednesday before they travel to Greece.
They looked in fine spirits including Matteo Guendouzi who was sensationally banished from the first-team squad against the Toon following a row with club chiefs.
But it appears the Frenchman has put his issues behind him as he trained with the rest of the group.
Arteta could rotate a couple of players but will want to maintain a strong squad knowing winning the competition could be their best route of Champions League qualification.
The Spaniard has no fresh injury concerns with Kieran Tierney, Cedric Soares and Calum Chambers all ruled out.
