The UEFA Europa League is back in action with another round of matches this week as PSV Eindhoven lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important clash at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.
Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven Preview
PSV Eindhoven are currently in second place in the Eredivisie standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Dutch outfit thrashed Utrecht by a 6-1 margin last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment and have been in exceptional form so far this year. The Gunners edged Leeds United to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
