Arsenal jet off to Russia for Europa League second leg with CSKA Moscow as Gunners aim to reach semi-finals

Arsenal are on their way to Russia as they prepare to take on CSKA Moscow on Thursday night and progress to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

The Gunners, who lead 4-1 from last week's first leg at the Emirates Stadium, are overwhelming favourites to complete the job at the VEB Arena.

Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored twice - all before half-time - in the first leg last Thursday, with Aleksandr Golovin's free-kick response for the Russian side proving a mere consolation.
