43' CHANCE! Fantastic defensive header from Sinyan as Nelson storms down the left, does a few stepovers to work a yard and cuts back onto his right before crossing into the middle for Nketiah, but the Molde centre-back gets it away!
42' BLOCK! Eikrem smacks a fierce effort at goal from the edge of the box, but Xhaka throws himself in the way to block!
41' OVER! Wingo finds himself in the box on the right and goes for goal, but he gets under the effort and floats it over the bar!
40' WIDE! Nelson cuts in from the left and fires a sweetly-struck effort towards the top-right corner, but it's just the wrong side of the post!
38' Molde press really high as Mustafi plays it back to Runarsson, but Arsenal just manage to work it out from the back and Cedric draws a foul.
36' Nelson gets into the box and is fed by Lacazette. He's completely surrounded by defenders and does well to keep the ball before going down, but a free-kick is given Molde's way, presumably for a stray arm from the winger as he sought to hold off his markers.
34' Hestad puts a fantastic ball in from the left, but James doesn't attack it with any conviction and the ball sails harmlessly through the danger zone.
32' Pepe charges down the right and looks up, but has to wait for support. He and Lacazette play the ball between themselves on the edge of the box before Nketiah takes over and ties to curl one in from distance, but it's a comfortable save for Linde.
30' There's a clash of heads in the area between Sinyan and David Luiz, forcing the game to be stopped briefly. Thankfully, both players appear to be fine and will carry on.
28' WIDE! A lovely cross from the left reaches the back post where Hestad tries to prod it home, but Maitland-Niles gets in the way to turn it just past the post!
27' Arsenal miss a good chance to break as Pepe's run in behind is ignored by Lacazette in favour of Nketiah, who had strayed into an offside position.
25' Cedric swings a high cross in from the right towards Nketiah, but Linde comes out to claim the ball in the air. He fumbles it the first time, but eventually gathers the loose ball.
23' Arsenal have looked bright, particularly down their left side, and are enjoying a positive spell. Molde still pose a threat on the counter, however.
21' CLOSE! Arsenal counter quickly and Xhaka finds Pepe on the right. The Ivorian cuts inside onto his favoured left foot and goes for the top-left corner, but it's just too high!
19' OVER! Arsenal win another corner which Pepe swings into the box where Luiz meets it, but the Brazilian sends his header high and wide.
17' SAVE! Pepe cuts in from the right and goes for goal from just outside the box, but it's a little too central and Linde saves and holds on. He needed to make that stick as Nketiah and Lacazette were lurking.
15' WHAT A CHANCE! How are Molde not ahead?! Eikrem plays the ball down the left for Hestad, who fizzes the ball across goal for Sinyan to tap it in from a couple of yards out, but somehow he sends it back across goal where Runarsson keeps it out!
13' SAVE! Nelson and Lacazette play a neat one-two on the left side of the box, with the latter slipping the former into the area. Nelson goes for the near post, but Linde makes the save! The build-up was sharp there.
12' OVER! Maitland-Niles slips the ball out to the right and the cross is floated to the back post where Pepe attempts an audacious outside-of-the-boot volley, but he sends it high over the bar.
11' Maitland-Niles and Nelson link up smoothly down the left as they progress the ball forward and win a corner. The pair have started brightly.
9' A quick pass down the line gives Pepe the chance to run at his man and cut inside, but a slightly loose touch allows his marker to nip in and clear the ball away.
7' Eikrem whips a dangerous ball into the middle from a deeper position, but nobody is able to latch onto it and the danger is seen away by the Gunners.
5' Arteta appears to be experimenting with Lacazette as a number 10 tonight. The Frenchman is dropping off the front and looking to link play between the lines in the early stages, but he does push back up alongside Nketiah to press when Arsenal don't have the ball.
3' SAVE! Nelson drives positively down the left and gets to the byline in the box before laying it back to Maitland-Niles, who dinks a cross towards the back post that Linde has to turn over the bar! It looked like it was heading in!
1' We're underway in Norway!
However, Arsenal have only been beaten once in their last 14 away games in the group stages of a major European competition (W10 D3), against FC Koln in November 2017 in the only game they’ve failed to score in during this run.
Molde had won three Europa League matches in a row before Arsenal beat them 4-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this month – they haven’t lost consecutive matches in the competition since a run of a three games in October/November 2012.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta makes sweeping changes following the 0-0 draw against Leeds United in their last outing. Only Willock, Xhaka and Pepe keep their places, with the latter given an immediate shot at redemption following his straight red card in that game.
Molde manager Erling Moe makes two changes from his side's 3-0 win over Stabaek in their last league game. Bynhildsen drops to the bench, but defender Martin Bjornbak misses out through injury. Hestad and Gregersen take their places in the starting line-up.
Arsenal substitutes: Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin, Folarin Balogun, Dani Ceballos, Matt Macey, Miguel Azeez, Ben Cottrell, Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, Karl Hein.
Arsenal XI (4-4-2): Runar Alex Runarsson; Cedric Soares, Shkodran Mustafi, David Luiz, Ainsley Maitland-Niles; Nicolas Pepe, Joe Willock, Granit Xhaka, Reiss Nelson; Eddie Nketiah, Alexandre Lacazette.
Molde substitutes: Ola Brynhildsen, Mattias Mostrom, Tobias Christensen, Alex Craninx, Mathias Eriksen Ranmark, Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, Ohikhuaeme Omoijuanfo, Erling Knudtzon, Mathis Bolly.

Arsenal have the opportunity to put themselves in pole position in their Europa League group if they can secure victory over nearest challengers Molde tonight, having won all three of their games so far.
