Arsenal’s Europa League clash away to BATE Borisov will be free to view on Thursday night.

Arsenal go into the Europa League game full of confidence, having not lost a game since their 4-0 drubbing to Liverpool at the end of August.

The Gunners secured a 2-0 victory over West Brom on Monday night – courtesy of an Alexandre Lacazette brace.

However, there were a couple of tetchy moments in the first half, with Shkodran Mustafi fortunate not to concede a penalty after bringing down Jay Rodriguez.
