Arsenal joined various other teams that earned qualification to the 2020/21 Europa League contest in the draw that took place at lunchtime at the House of European Football, Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday.
The Gunners could not get in directly from the league but passed through the back door following an FA Cup final win over Chelsea Football Club.
From Pot A, Arsenal fell into Group B of this season's edition of the competition where they have Rapid Vienna (Austria) as one of the teams they will be locking horns with in the group stage.
Molde (Norway) and Dundalk (Ireland) are the two other teams in same group as Mikel Arteta's side. The first game will take place on October 22 but we are yet to know how the fixtures will look like i.e on what day will what game be and who will be home or away. That will be publicized by UEFA later today.
Matchday 1: October 22
Matchday 2: October 29
Matchday 3: November 5
Matchday 4: November 26
Matchday 5: December 3
Matchday 6: December 10
This will make it Arsenal's fourth consecutive season in the Europa Legue. In the 2017/18 season, we were eliminated in the semi-final by Atletico Madrid.
In the following campaign under the guidance of Unai Emery, we appeared in Baku for the final but could not defeat our London rivals, Chelsea, to claim glory.
During the 2019/20 edition, Olympiacos send us packing at the round of 32 after progressing on away goals.
