The 'Eternal derby', when Crvena face Partizan Belgrade, is about as heated as derby games get in European football.
The atmosphere tonight will be a few notches down from that I'd imagine, but Arsenal are certainly going to need to show some 'cojones' tonight...

Red Star beat Cologne last time out
Red Star Belgrade manager Vladan Milojevic:
"Arsenal's defeats in the Premier League do not fool us - they are still an excellent team.
"Even if they fielded a rotated team, that wouldn't mean that they are underestimating us - Arsene Wenger doesn't ever underestimate anyone.
"We'll host one of the best clubs in the world, a club that competes in, what is for me, Europe's strongest league.
"It is a sell-out, our fans have already won. Now it's up to us to do the same. We're in it together."

You say Crvena Zvezda, I say Red Star Belgrade.
Yep, the 1991 European Cup winners are known by their Serbian name more often than not these days but were generally known as Red Star in England before.
The 91 triumph was their finest hour and they were runners up last season in the Serbian SuperLiga.

Jack Wilshere says Arsenal's character is not in question after criticism from Watford striker Troy Deeney.
Deeney said that Arsenal lacked 'cojones' in their 2-1 defeat at Vicarage Road, with former Gunner Martin Keown saying the players lack determination.
Midfielder Wilshere said: "As a player if your attitude is questioned, it's horrible.
"I don't think the comments were justified. All we can do is perform."

Just Petr Cech and Mohamed Elneny keep their places as Arsene Wenger shuffles the deck.

Arsenal: Cech; Debuchy, Holding, Elneny; Maitland-Niles, Coquelin, Willock, Wilshere, Nelson; Walcott, Giroud,

In the red corner, a team accused of having no fight, no determination, of having something wrong with their very DNA.

In the blue corner, a team who are two points above the relegation zone and have two wins from eight Premier League games, and whose manager got the dreaded 'vote of confidence' this week.

Will they prove a timely distraction or another problem they just don't need?
