Arsenal vs Red Star Belgrade live stream: Watch Europa League online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal will look to stay perfect in their Europa League group as they travel to Serbia to face Red Star Belgrade. Here’s what you need to know and where to watch.
Arsenal have been remarkably convincing in the Europa League ever since Cordoba lobbed home the opening goal for FC Koln in the first match of the group stages. They traveled to BATE Borisov and despite what might appear like a porous defensive performance, the match was never in question.

However, it gets tough as they travel to Serbia. Red Star Belgrade is known for creating such a hostile atmosphere for visiting teams and, in case you haven’t been paying attention, the Gunners are rather susceptible to being mentally weakened.
Just look at Watford.
But this will be rotational squad that has frequently proven to have a good deal more gumption than their “first choice” counterparts. And with players returning from injury, not to mention the changes made against Watford, we have a lot of things to keep an eye on in this match.

For instance, Jack Wilshere will be fired up and ready to make an impact. He was robbed of his return to Premier League action and the Englishman will not be one to take that lightly.
Francis Coquelin may also return to action. If the Gunners want to match the “meanness” of their hosts, the French bruiser is one way to do it. Of course, he has only just returned to full health and it’s not likely that Wenger will be too keen on throwing him into the fray against the Serbs.
Then there is the superstar duo, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. The former was not available against Watford and the latter is being cast as the scapegoat for his glaring missed opportunity to seal a 2-0 win.
It is entirely possible that Alexis will be out there, but with continuing reports that Ozil is floating around like a specter in training, coupled with his supposed unwillingness to travel to BATE Borisov, it’s unlikely that we will see him.
Meanwhile, Red Star Belgrade are, naturally, hanging out on top of the Serbian SuperLiga table, right where they belong. So in the pre-match battle of confidence, I’m not sure the visitors even stand a chance. Thankfully, confidence alone doesn’t win a match.
Anyway, here are all the ways to watch the match unfold:
