Arsenal begin their Europa League campaign by playing away against Zurich at Kybunpark on Thursday. The Gunners have enjoyed a flying a start to their Premier League campaign, winning their first five matches, but their juggernaut was brought to a halt by Manchester United last week. Mikel Arteta will hope that the defeat was just a blip in matrix and his side will be determined get their mojo back against a struggling Zurich side to make a positive start on the European stage.
The hosts are going through a rough patch and Franco Foda's troops head into the fixture at the back of a 2-1 defeat to Lugano in the Swiss Super League. They are still winless after seven matches in the domestic competition and are placed in ninth position with just two points from seven matches.
