Arsenal stars jet out to Lisbon ahead of Europa League clash with Sporting

Arsenal stars appeared to be in buoyant moods as they jetted out to Lisbon ahead of Europa League clash against Sporting with the club closing in on their record number of wins in a row.

Unai Emery's men will go in search of their 11th win on the bounce when they face Portugal giants Sporting on Thursday evening, which is only three away from their all-time record that came back in 1987.

The Arsenal squad departed London on Wednesday and are due to touch down in the Portuguese capital later this evening.
