If there is one reason why Manchester United fans would stay up late night to watch a Europa League fixture, it is this. This is a trial test for Koulibaly before joining the Red Devils. His performance against the lethal duo of Aubameyang and Lacazette will either earn him a healthy contract at Old Trafford, or the links would cease.

Auba and Laca have been involved in 42 goals this season for Arsenal, more than nearly 60% of the goals scored by the Gunners. They both have played an immense part in defining Arsenal's season this term, and are allegedly the best duo in the world, only behind Luis Suarez and Leo Messi.

How they fare against Koulibaly, the highest rated defender in Italy is yet to be seen, but this game promises plenty of drama, with a plethora of problems for both of the sides to cope up with.
