Arsenal fly out to Sweden for Europa League clash with Ostersunds with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in line for his Gunners European bow

Arsenal have a lot to live up to in Europe this week, after rivals Tottenham Hotspur made their impressive comeback against Juventus in the Champions League.

While the Gunners are playing a step down from Spurs, in the Europa League, they will be keen to impress when they face Ostersunds in Sweden on Thursday.

The players flew out from Luton airport to Scandinavia on Wednesday, for a game where they are clear favourites against the competition's surprise package.
