Player to Watch
Martin Zubimendi became the third Arsenal player this campaign to score a brace, having struck twice in the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Spaniard has added a zest to Arsenal’s midfield, helping them find openings which were particularly hard to come by previously and could be a determining factor in getting Arsenal over the line in regards to a trophy this term.
Athletic Bilbao vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Record
