Arsenal host Standard Liege at the Emirates Stadium this evening hoping to maintain their perfect start in the Europa League this season.

Arsenal comfortably saw off Frankfurt in their opening match of the 2019/20 European campaign and currently sit on top of Group F.

But Standard Liege are likely to prove tougher opposition. The Belgian side saw off Vitória Guimarães in their opening match and are second in the Belgian First Division. Follow live coverage below:

Team news

Arsenal will still be without Alexandre Lacazette as the striker continues his recovery from a left ankle injury. Emile Smith Rowe suffered a concussion against Nottingham Forest last week and continues to be assessed. Liege looks like it’ll come too early for him but everybody else is fit for selection.

Striker, Orlando Sa will miss the game for Liege as he has an Achilles injury which has kept him out for the season so far.

Hector Bellerin, speaking to BT Sport: "The team had a great performance. It’s a very important win for us. We played 100% and wanted to get more goals. We wanted to press, the team is hungry, the team wants to win and wants to improve and I am very pleased for the boys."
