Simon Rusk’s men were 1-0 winners over Arsenal last time out in Premier League 2, as a second half goal from Peter Gwargis – his second in as many matches, sealed an impressive three points against the Gunners.

Tonight’s opposition are yet to register a win in this year’s competition. The side’s first game of the group stage back in September was a 1-0 defeat to West Ham United, before Wolfsburg inflicted a heavy 4-0 loss on the Spanish side a month later.
