When Arsenal next play in Europa League and who they can face as Man Utd get more fixture chaos

Arsenal fans will be excited to find out who they will face in the next round of the Europa League after confirming top spot in their group on Thursday night. The Gunners had already qualified for the knockout stages, but top spot needed to be secured and they did so with a 1-0 win over FC Zurich.

That victory, in finishing above PSV, ensured Mikel Arteta's men would not have to play an extra game in the competition. That is because there is a benefit to finish top of the group - going straight through to the round of 16.

At this stage, the third-placed teams in their Champions League groups drop into the Europa League and after changes to the way the competition is played out, that means a two-legged game for some, while others get a mini break.
