Premier League giant Arsenal FC (1-3-0, 3 points) will look to get back at Croatian champions GNK Dinamo Zagreb (1-3-0, 3 points) in a 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League Group F encounter at the Emirates Stadium in London on November 24.

Dinamo Zagreb defeated the Gunners, 2-1, during their group stage opener at the Stadion Maksimir last September 16 courtesy of goals from left back Josip Pivarić and forward Junior Fernandes.

Arsenal striker Theo Walcott was able to put his team on the board at the 79th minute, but it was all too late for Arsene Wenger's squad to complete a comeback.

In their most recent match in this tourney, the Gunners were dominated by Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich, 5-1, at the Allianz Arena on November 4, as reported by SkySports.

Thomas Müller scored a double to lead the Bavarians in their revenge of the previous 0-2 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium two weeks prior.

Meanwhile, Zagreb dropped a close 1-2 decision to Superleague Greece winners Olympiacos FC at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece also on November 4, as per Goal.

Striker Armin Hodžić drew first blood for Modri during the match to lift his team up 1-0 early, but two second half strikes from Olympiacos winger Felipe Pardo erased their lead en route to the disappointing defeat.

Wenger's men are favored to win this game in London, although Dinamo Zagreb will make it hard for them to do it.

The prediction is a 2-1 retribution for Arsenal.

Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cech; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Paulista, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Campbell, Özil, Sánchez; Giroud

Dinamo Zagreb starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Eduardo; Matel, Santos, Taravel, Musa; Machado, Rog, Antolic; Fernandes, Hodzic, Muscat
