Arsenal open another season in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, with a trip to face Eintracht Frankfurt in a tantalising Group F headliner.
These two teams came close to contesting last term's final themselves and now clash at the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, hoping to instantly boost their European prospects for this season.
Last year's runners-up are without a win in their last two away games (since the 1-0 opening-day win at Newcastle United), while Eintracht's only Bundesliga points this season have come on home soil againsy Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hoffenheim.
Gunners managerUnai Emery has played a part in four of the past six Europa League finals (he won three with Sevilla) and returns to Europe's second-tier competition targeting a fast start.
