Arsenal v Vorskla: The Brief

Here we go again for the start of another Europa League campaign - and tonight's opener against Vorskla offers no little intrigue.

Not only will this be our first meeting with the unheralded Ukrainians, but it could also offer the chance to see two of our new signings start for the first time.

Unai Emery has confirmed that Bernd Leno will make his first appearance in Arsenal colours, and - after a series of impressive cameos - could it also be #TimeForTorreira too?

Having won three on the bounce, our head coach will be keen to keep up the momentum against Vorskla in a competition he won three times on the bounce himself, while in charge of Sevilla.

He has a balance to find with his team selection, especially ahead of a tough test against Everton this weekend, but he will expect to see his side start strong here.

Read on for team news, match stats and an expert view of our opponents.
