Arsenal Europa League draw: Gunners learn 2020-21 group stage opponents and fixtures

Arsenal will play Rapid Vienna in the Europa League group stage.

The Gunners were in pot 1 for the draw, held in Switzerland on Friday afternoon, and will be the favourites to progress from group B to the knockout phase.

Arsenal were knocked out by Olympiacos in last season’s round of 32 and will be hoping to go further this season as Mikel Arteta builds momentum on the back of their FA Cup triumph in August, which saw them qualify for Europe.
