Arsenal’s quest to top their Europa League group continues with a testy trip to Ukraine. Here are all the ways to watch the match.
Arsenal finally got back to their winning ways against Bournemouth after a dreary international break, and next up on their schedule is a tumultuous trip to the Ukraine, where the political situation is tense, but not supposed to factor into the match at hand.
The Gunners have not yet suffered a defeat in the Europa League group stage, and while they were unable to clinch top spot in the group last time out against Sporting CP, they can do so here, with a win over Vorskla.
With Tottenham at the weekend, though, we know it won’t be easy. There are a handful of youth players traveling with the team instead of their senior counterparts, who will be rested ahead of the North London Derby. Such names include John-Jules, who launched himself into the spotlight over international break, as well as Joe Willock, who hasn’t followed up on some decent exposure last year.
There are also plenty of injuries to talk about. Laurent Koscielny, while he featured in the U23s, will not feature in this one as he continues his recovery from the Achilles injury he suffered at the end of last year.

Nacho Monreal remains out, limiting the options at leftback. Mavropanos is still out as well, as his return is still being delayed.
In terms of the questionable ones, Stephan Lichtsteiner may be healthy enough to feature, but if not, we will likely see another appearance from Jenko. Alexandre Lacazette will be fit for the weekend, but that doesn’t mean that he will be seen in this one, especially with Eddie Nketiah primed for his first real opportunity of the year.
It will be an interesting one here in the Ukraine, but hopefully for all the right reasons – like a youth showcase kind of reason, with our young talents proving capable of earning the full three points here.
