Arsenal will endeavour to open their Europa League campaign with back-to-back victories when they host Bodo/Glimt in Thursday's Group A encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners began their continental journey with a 2-1 success over FC Zurich on September 8 before their proposed showdown with PSV Eindhoven was postponed in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

Mikel Arteta's side remain at the top of the pile in the Premier League after besting Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in Saturday's North London derby, with Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka on the scoresheet.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Bodo/Glimt, who drew 1-1 with PSV in their maiden Europa League clash of the season.
