The Gunners' top task this term is to secure Champions League football – and winning the Europa League would earn them a place at that table.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery faces a tricky challenge to get three points here.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Frankfurt host one of the premier sides in Europe on Thursday and on the face of it Arsenal should be winning this game.

They spent big on new players in the summer and, while their Premier League campaign has not got off to the smoothest of starts, the Gunners are expected to challenge for the top four this term.

Manager Unai Emery is a Europa League master and knows how to get through the pesky group stage, where Thursday fixtures pile up.

Expect a mostly strong XI to start against Frankfurt on Thursday, although Emery may rest one of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Nicolas Pepe, while Alexandre Lacazette has been ruled out of action until October with an ankle problem.

Still, even with rested players, Arsenal should eventually take control and win this game.
