Arsenal will be in Norway for their return leg today (Thursday) with Bodo/Glimt as Mikel Arteta aims to continue the perfect start in Europe.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men suffered a 3-0 defeat at the Emirates, which puts them in a tough spot ahead of the remaining two group-stage games.
The Norwegians must finish in second place and progress into the next round or risk dropping down to the Conference League for a second consecutive season.
Having warmed up to the Arsenal clash with a 4-1 Eliteserien victory over Sandefjord, Bodo will be hoping for a positive result on home soil.
Additionally, they will want the Gunners to beat PSV in their doubleheader to stand a chance of progressing.
Arsenal are one of the in-form teams on the continent and currently tops their Europa League group and earning three points will be their objective.
Arteta’s men still have four games to play in this group stages and will take on PSV next week in a rescheduled fixture.
Arsenal remain on a good run of form and will be riding high on their terrific start to the campaign on all fronts.
