Arsenal news : Arsenal team news: Predicted line-up to face Valencia - FOUR changes expected

Arsenal news :  Arsenal team news: Predicted line-up to face Valencia - FOUR changes expected Unai Emery is 180 minutes away from reaching his fourth Europa League final, having won the competition three times with Sevilla. This year’s showpiece takes place in Baku, Azerbaijan on May 29, where Arsenal could meet rivals Chelsea. But they must first overcome Valencia, who dropped down from the Champions League after finishing third in Manchester United's group. Coached by Marcelino García Toral, Los Murciélagos sit sixth in La Liga and will provide serious opposition.  They eliminated fellow Spanish outfit Villarreal in their quarter-final, a 3-1 win in the away sealing their place in the Europa League semi-finals. Given the Gunners' terrible away form, it's imperative that they take a lead to Valencia's intimidating Mestalla stadium. So who will Emery select to start at the Emirates Stadium tonight? We know for sure that midfield duo Aaron Ramsey and Denis Suarez will not be involved again this season, so they can be ruled out straightaway.  Petr Cech is expected to deputise for Bernd Leno again, as he looks to add another Europa League trophy to the one he won with Chelsea in 2013. Mesut Ozil, who yesterday reiterated how happy he is at Arsenal, is likely to start after being rested against the Foxes. And Alex Iwobi will make way for Sead Kolasinac as Emery may well switch to a be three, which means no place for Shkodran Mustafi either. Emery insisted prior to the match: "We have big ambition and motivation in this competition. "It's a semi-final and it's going to be difficult.  "At the beginning of the season we knew it was going to be very difficult to finish in the top four. "We will continue, we will not look at the table - the Europa League is a big motivation for us.” Tonight's clash gets underway at 8pm. Predicted Arsenal line-up (3-4-1-2): Cech; Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Torreira, Kolasinac; Ozil; Aubameyang, Lacazette
