Arsenal will face Sporting CP in the Europa League round of 16. The Gunners have been handed a difficult draw with Sporting having dropped down from the Champions League after finishing third in their group earlier this season.
Arsenal may look to learn from their north London rivals Tottenham who were one of the teams in Sporting's Champions League group. The Portuguese club beat FC Midtjylland 4-0 on aggregate in the round of 32 stage to progress into the last 16.
The Gunners qualified for the last 16 as group winners after finishing above PSV Eindhoven, Bodo/Glimt and FC Zurich. The round of 16 games take place next month with the first-leg of the ties scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 9 whilst the second leg will take place a week later.
