Arsenal’s Europa League group will see us go up against Sporting Lisbon, Qarabag and Vorskla Poltava. Even by the standards of this competition, it’s a pretty uninspiring draw and things probably won’t get really interesting until the knock-out stages.
Anyway, the dates and times of the fixtures have been announced, so for those of you on Skyscanner looking for cheap flights to Portugal, Azerbaijan and the Ukraine, here’s the info you need.

The spread of home and away games in the Premier League is nice and even, three of each after our Europa League encounters.
Man it’s going to be a long, boring but an important tournament
Only one comment in an hour?
Apocalypse around?
Brooding mode everyone.
Shows how little people care about the group stage this year.. I’m actually looking forward to it myself.
How far we have fallen. Important for everyone to understand that this season is a write off, just sad that our good players will hit their 30s the next…
Love the Jose Mourinho tag!
Sporting (a) on the 25th will probably be the key, as a rule we don’t do well in Portugal, so it would be foolish to underestimate anyone at this stage as our defence isn’t exactly Atletico Madrid.
Nice TAG, mate #jose
You don’t appear to give the time of the last match, at home v Qarabag. The Club site shows it’s at 20:00.
