Arsenal qualified for the UEFA Europa League knockout stages after running out a bore draw against Red Star Belgrade at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday evening.
Manager Arsene Wenger again made great changes to his side for the European clash, and while his side were far from impressive, one point combined with Cologne's 5-2 victory over BATE Borisov was enough to advance.
The Gunners will have had one eye on Sunday's trip to face Premier League leaders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, with few of Thursday's participants likely to challenge for a starting place.
