Arsenal and FC Zurich fans travelling for the Europa League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, November 3 could be impacted by the upcoming planned rail strikes.
The Gunners' last Europa League group stage match will be against the Swiss outfit just weeks before club football is suspended for the World Cup in Qatar. Mikel Arteta's side have already secured qualification for the knockout rounds after beating PSV 1-0 last night (Thursday) meaning the Spaniard can rotate his side ahead of the EFL third round tie against Brighton and keep his players fresh as they look to stay top of the Premier League heading into the winter break.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are continuing to stage further action in ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions, with more strikes set to take place on November 3rd, 5th and 7th. This will likely see supporters be impacted on the day of the Europa League clash with the action by staff at the train operating companies coinciding with strikes on the same days by RMT members on Network Rail, London Underground and London Overground.
