Arsenal will continue their Europa League campaign against Molde in Norway, with hopes to get back to winning ways on Thursday evening.

Mikel Arteta’s side come off the back of a draw against Leeds United – their second match in a row without scoring – and the game against Molde proves a good opportunity to gain a win.

The Gunners currently sit top of Group B and beat Molde 4-1 at their last meeting just three weeks ago, putting them heavy favourites having not lost a match in the Europa League so far.
