Arsenal vs Ostersunds FK live stream: Watch Europa League online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal should have an easy job holding onto a three-goal lead, but nothing ever seems to be easy. Here are all the ways to watch them against Ostersunds FK.
Arsenal’s past two weeks have been pretty dull, with just two matches against Ostersunds FK in the Europa League to keep fans entertained. And, of course, the first leg was far from entertaining, despite the seemingly conclusive scoreline of 3-0.
Which makes the return leg potentially less exciting, as all the Gunners have to do is defend a three goal lead. Ideally, this should be accomplished with as few regular starters as possible. Manchester City is waiting at the weekend and to risk a necessary player against Osterunds shows a ridiculous lack of confidence in the club, as well as a lack of depth.
The problem is, Wenger has already said that, bizarrely, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will play, although there is no conceivable reason why. Thankfully, Mesut Ozil is sick (or not, who cares) and won’t be risked ahead of such a crucial weekend fixture.

Danny Welbeck will start, which I suppose is a good thing, as it will give him a chance to get his game legs back underneath him as he severely struggles for consistency. The problem is this isn’t the first time, so all we can do is hope for the best.

Aaron Ramsey is also going to be missing, as his fitness is still in question, meaning that, more importantly, he won’t likely be available for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, except perhaps in a substitute role.
Other than that, expect rotation and lots of it, particularly on the defensive side. Mainly, I expect to see Sead Kolasinac finally returned to a starting spot that has been so foolishly denied him, despite opportunities to get him back into the game.
Anyway, enough jib-jab, here are all the ways to watch and listen:
