Arsenal have the slight advantage going into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Valencia on Thursday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a late goal at the Emirates in the first leg to make it 3-1 after Alexandre Lacazette had scored twice in the first half.
The Gunners will have to be wary of the away goal Valencia possess as they know a 2-0 defeat will see them crash out.

How Arsenal could line up against Valencia
In defence, Emery should be able to revert to a back-five with Ainsley Maitland-Niles able to return following his domestic suspension.
He will come in for Stephan Lichtsteiner while Laurent Koscielny is likely to be fit for the trip to the Mestalla.
In midfield, Emery will have to choose between Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira to partner Granit Xhaka in the middle.
