Arsenal one step closer to avoiding Europa League nightmare as Mikel Arteta awaits draw

Arsenal will embark upon another journey into the Europa League hoping to go one step further than their previous best and lift the trophy. The competition presents a route back to the Champions League for the club, who are one of the favourites for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

The draw for the tournament’s group stage takes place on August 26. Arsenal will be placed in pot one with three other teams in their group. The first legs of the play-off round of both the Champions League and Europa League took place this week.

Losers of the UCL play-offs will drop into the Europa League group stage joining the winners of the final UEL play-off. Arsenal will then compete across games from September through to November to qualify for the knockout stages.
