5 teams that can challenge Arsenal for Europa League title

#3 Zenit St. Petersburg

Zenit's chance to land a European Silverware

2008 Europa League winners spent more than 70 million pounds in the transfer market to bring in reinforcements. They are unbeaten in the domestic league and stand on top of the table with 28 points from 12 games. They breezed past the opponents in their first 2 games in Europe with a convincing 5-0 and 3-1 win.

Zenit St. Petersburg have been a constant presence in European competitions over the past decade. Their key player is Alexandr Kokorin. He has already scored 4 times in Europe and is a threat to any defense. Zenit never played against Arsenal in any European Competitions and can certainly surprise them if they get a chance.

Russian conditions can be hostile to English teams and since Arsenal never played a competitive game in Zenit, this could be the toughest fixture for Arsenal.
