Europa League Match Preview, Team News and Predicted Line-up: Rapid Vienna vs Arsenal

Arsenal kick off their 2020-21 Europa League campaign with a trip to Austria to take on Rapid Vienna tonight.

Mikel Arteta’s side secured a spot in the competition after winning the FA Cup last term, and they will now look to book a place in the last-32 and go far in the competition after crashing out immediately after reaching the knockout stages last term at the hands of Olympiacos.

It was a disappointing campaign for erstwhile manager Unai Emery having led the Gunners to the final of the 2018-19 edition, and Arteta will be keen to do better and win the competition in order to secure an automatic Champions League spot for 2021-22.
