Celtic have lost to two out of three English oppositions in pre season friendlies and if they could not even handle the likes of Sunderland and Manchester City, I will just see the Gunners motoring through this game. Arsenal are more suited to pay away from home and when the onus is on the home team to push forward, all the players in the Arsenal team are capable of launching destructive counter attacks which will just upset the home side. Celtic look to be a much over rated team than they actually think they are. They cannot depend on Kenny Miller and Scott McDonald all the time and at times, their ageing defence just is not good enough.

Arsenal absolutely tore apart their opposition last Saturday and given the fact that they were in cruise control at half time, certain players were given a rest and it would be catastrophic if Arsenal somehow are knocked out from this two legged tie two weeks from now.Back the gunners here especially with them coming away Goodison Park with an astonishing 6-1 thumping of Everton.

Pick: Arsenal @2.05
