Arsenal will look to continue their impressive campaign on the continent when they travel to face Norwegian outfit Molde in their Europa League group stage campaign on Thursday, and you can watch this plus all other Europa League games live online.
The Gunners secured a 4-1 victory when both sides met in the first-leg earlier in the month at The Emirates Stadium, coming from behind to bag an impressive win, and they will look to stroll to another comfortable victory and bounce back from Sunday’s Premier League disappointing goalless draw with Leeds United.
Arsenal currently top their Europa League group following three victories in as many games, and Molde are three points behind them.
The Norwegians will fancy their chances of getting a result at home as they also seek to boost their chances of quickly qualifying for the last-32, and Mikel Arteta’s men shouldn’t expect an easy game given the hosts’ impressive domestic form.
