Former Tottenham player Jamie O'Hara has predicted that Arsenal will 'crumble' in the Europa League this season upon their return to the competition. It comes ahead of the Gunners' opening game in Group A, where they will travel to Switzerland and face FC Zurich in matchweek one.
Mikel Arteta guided his side back into continental football for this season, but not the competition he would've preferred after missing out on a top four finish and Champions League qualification. Despite that, the Spaniard has claimed he is excited for the challenge ahead.
“We missed it last year so much: those nights at the Emirates, the atmosphere, playing against European teams. The preparation is very different and it’s great," Arteta said.
