Everything you need to know ahead of the game

Arsenal return to Europa League action on Thursday as they visit Molde in Norway.

The Gunners haven’t scored in their last two matches either side of the international break, so a return to Continental action could come at the right time as they’ve hit nine goals in three games in this competition so far.

Last time out Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Leeds and had Nicolas Pepe sent-off, with the forward having to apologise for his senseless headbutt.
