Europa League

Arsenal have confirmed their 24-man Europa League squad with Mikel Arteta's side set to be tested with more matches as their gruelling schedule gets ...

Arsenal will also face PSV and Bodo/Glimt in their group - two sides who reached the quarter-final of the Europa Conference League last season and both are experienced enough to cause upsets in Europe. With so much expectation riding on Arsenal this season, Arteta cannot afford to throw away a competition and has to make his team as competitive as possible for every game. Their squad strength is a real issue, however, and the Gunners will need to find a solution, so they don't pick up any more injuries. Ben White has had to start the season at right-back in Takehiro Tomayasu's absence, but either he or Gabriel and William Saliba may have to continue playing in the Europa League with Rob Holding the only other senior centre-back. But then that would mean starting Viera and Sambi Lokonga despite their lack of experience and a need to be involved in Premier League games. Arteta was keen to get a midfielder over the line following injuries to Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey, with the former expected to be out until at least the new year.

United are continuing to give Alejandro Garnacho and Zidane Iqbal chances to impress and push their way into Erik ten Hag's squad.

If United can rack up victories early, then there will be opportunity to rotate the squad later on. [Zidane Iqbal](https://www.unitedinfocus.com/tag/zidane-iqbal/) and [Alejandro Garnacho](https://www.unitedinfocus.com/tag/alejandro-garnacho/), who have remained part of the first team squad, despite dropping down to the under-21s to feature at the weekend.

The 19-year-old Brazilian is yet to play for his new club yet after coming in for just £3m this summer from Sao Paulo. Arsenal would much prefer to be in the Champions League but must now try to make the most of a big chance for European silverware. Another player hoping to take advantage of shortages in the squad where transfer options weren't available is Fabio Vieira. Although this can become tough with such high demands on Arsenal this season, it does give opportunities to players that aren't able to get the consistent game time they want in the league. [The second tier of European competition](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/arsenal-europa-league-squad-confirmed-24934461) can be seen as a hinderance, but for Arsenal to get the best out of their squad, then the Europa League will need to become as much of a focus as any other trophy this season.

Mikel Arteta will be eyeing his second piece of silverware as Arsenal boss, with the Gunners amongst the favourites to win the Europa League.

The UEFA Europa League group stage is upon us, with 32 teams aiming to be this season's champions. A look at the clubs ahead of the first games on Thursday.

As for Monaco, the principality club lost out on automatic Champions League qualifying due to a 96th minute goal in the last matchday of the Ligue 1 season last May away to Lens. Both teams won their Europa League groups a year ago but fell in the last 16 to Rangers and Braga, respectively. This is the Belgian side’s first foray in a UEFA club competition, losing to Rangers in Champions League qualifying last month. The winner of the Europa League will get to enjoy a lovely trophy along with a berth in next season’s UEFA Champions League. As mentioned before, Fenerbahçe and Dynamo Kyiv already met over the summer in Champions League qualifying. The runners-up will play against a third-place finisher from a Champions League group in the Both Union Berlin and Bodø/Glimt played in the Europa Conference League a year ago, the latter reaching the quarterfinals before bowing out to eventual winners Roma. Of the 32 teams this season, 13 featured in the same stage a year ago. Former UEFA Cup finalists Lazio and Feyenoord will meet at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. With Union Berlin’s Europa League proper debut, that makes them the 18th different German side to participate in this tournament’s main round. Los Txuri-Urdin have never defeated the Red Devils in four attempts, including a recent Round of 32 meeting in this tournament where United progressed courtesy of a 4-0 away win. As previously mentioned, this is the second Europa League campaign under the current format, which has 32 teams participating.

The Europa League and Europa Conference League group stages are here Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham are all in action.

Group C: Lech vs H. Group D: Slovacko vs Nice (12:45), Cologne vs Partizan (3:00) United are also favored but have some long distances to travel as they play Real Sociedad, Sheriff Tiraspol from Transnistria and Cypriot side Omonoia.

Arsenal are planning to take the Europa League very seriously this season and name strong teams whenever possible, according to a report.

With the group fixtures so tightly packed around the congested Premier League schedule – thanks to the winter World Cup – there would be no time to rest. Name either option in those positions and it would be a disservice to whichever player is starting to describe the team as significantly weakened. In a way, that makes sense.

Erik ten Hag has selected a 25-man squad for Man United's Europa League group stage campaign.

Promoted Stories Uefa rules state: "A player may be registered on List B if he is born on, or after, 1 January 2001 and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with UEFA – or for a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period not longer than one year. Jones, 30, has started two games in the last two years and has been unavailable through injury since United players returned for pre-season training on June 27.

Arsenal have confirmed their 24-man UEFA Europa League squad with all five summer signings included, plus some young stars.

Turner, Zinchenko, Vieira, Marquinhos and Jesus all feature in Arteta's squad for the upcoming Europa League group stage fixtures. Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny both feature as well despite currently being injured, with the latter expected to be out for a long period of time. The Gunners kick off their Europa League campaign away against FC Zurich on Thursday evening after suffering their first defeat of the season.
