Arsenal's quest to lift this season's Europa League trophy begins with group stage games against PSV Eindhoven, Bodo/Glimt and FC Zurich.
On paper, that looks like a favourable draw for the Gunners. In terms of travel, trips to the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland are ideal, especially when taking into consideration that a 5000-mile round trip to Azerbaijan was on the table with Qarabag amongst the teams in Pot 2.
Now, it goes without saying that Mikel Arteta won't be taking any of the teams lightly. PSV, perhaps, are Arsenal's biggest threat to topping the group as they have a lot of firepower within their ranks - led by the much sought after Cody Gakpo - whilst Ruud van Nistelrooy's presence should add even more spice to the two meetings.
