Arsenal Europa League draw: Group fixtures and dates as Gunners learn opponents

Arsenal are due to learn their group stage opponents for the 2020-21 Europa League campaign this afternoon.

The Gunners booked their spot in the groups after beating Chelsea 2-1 in August's FA Cup Final at Wembley, forcing Spurs into three qualifying fixtures.

Following the late finish to last season's tournament, the competition will get under way a month later than usual, with group fixtures scheduled to begin on October 22.

The round of 32 is then due to start as originally planned in February.

Mikel Arteta will be keen to make a deep run in the competition this season after last season's late defeat to Olympiacos in the last 32.

Leicester and Spurs will also be flying the flag for the Premier League in the group stages, but Arsenal cannot be drawn against their domestic rivals at this stage.
