Frank Lampard Warns Arsenal of 'Big Player' Diego Costa Ahead of Europa League Clash

Arsenal will already be facing an uphill battle when they match up against Atletico Madrid on Thursday evening, but this task will be made increasingly difficult while dealing with the physical presence of Atletico's striker, Diego Costa, according to ex-Chelsea and England legend, Frank Lampard.

Arsenal come into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against the Spanish giants level at one a piece, having conceded a late away goal in the opening tie last Thursday.

Their failure to compete for the top four this year has meant that there is added pressure on The Gunners to compete for the Europa League title.
