The Europa League kicks off this week and on the first matchday, the biggest highlight will be the Eintracht vs Arsenal clash on Thursday.
The Gunners have been pitched in Group F of the UEFA Europa League and they should proceed to the next round without much headache since the other teams in the group are not much of a competition for Unai Emery’s side.
But one big cause of concern for the fans will be the fact that Arsenal drew their previous league match vs Watford and the Hornets should that rattling the Gunners cage is not a massive task.
Eintracht have made a very good start to the 2019-20 season especially in the Europa League playoff(winning all six matches) so beating them on home turf will not be an easy job for the Premier League side.
