Arsenal, Chelsea seek last-32 spots

– Arsenal head into tonight’s clash with Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates bidding for a place in the Europa League knockout stage, buoyed by an impressive display in their draw against Premier League title hopefuls Liverpool.

The Gunners are top of Group E having won all three matches so far.

Chelsea will also book a ticket for the last-32 with victory over BATE Borisov in Belarus, after seeing Alvaro Morata make it five goals in six games in their win over Crystal Palace last weekend. – AFP
