Arsenal’s place in the knockout stage has already been guaranteed, so they take on Vorskla with nothing serious on the line.Unai Emery’s side will guarantee a first place finish by winning, while a draw or defeat leaves the door open for Sporting to steal in and claim top spot.

What the managers are saying

Unai Emery (Arsenal):“First, we need to respect UEFA’s decision because I think it’s not easy for Vorskla. For us we were preparing the first trip to Poltava and waiting in the evening for the last decision. It’s not changing a lot to play here. It is clear they are playing in Ukraine, not in their town, but here in Kiev they can also move their supporters. In 90 minutes we want to do our work here. The decision is not easy but with big responsibility. UEFA yesterday found the best decision to play and also with protecting everybody, us and them.”
