Arsenal make the trek to face Rapid Vienna in the Europa League live on BT Sport this Thursday
Arsenal will get their European adventure underway with a trip to Vienna on the opening night of Europa League fixtures.
The Gunners were brought back down to earth with a bump after falling to a narrow loss to Manchester City on Saturday.
There is still plenty to encourage the Emirates faithful, however, with Mikel Arteta’s side becoming increasingly more difficult to break down with each passing week.
While Rapid Vienna remain unbeaten thus far in Austria, sitting just two points off table- toppers RB Salzburg, they will certainly enter the clash as the underdog.
The Europa League represents a fantastic opportunity for European silverware for Arsenal, and they won’t be taking anyone lightly in their bid to get their hands on it.

Rapid Vienna v Arsenal team news
Rapid Vienna: The Austrian side has been coping just fine despite a number of long-term injuries that have left their squad looking rather thin.
Manager Dietmar Kühbauer is unlikely to make many changes for the visit of the north London giants.
Arsenal: Arteta’s first team squad came out well following the fiesty clash with Man City. Unfortunately, Gabriel Martinelli and Skhodran Mustafi remain unavailable through injury.
The Spanish manager may choose to rest a couple of his stars but mass rotation is unlikely as he looks to further instil his system into his side.
