Arsenal are set to host FC Zurich on Europa League's last group-stage matchday on November 4, 2022.
After a massive 5 - 0 victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend, the Gunners have extended their spot on the top of the Premier League with a two-point difference with second-placed Manchester City.
Meanwhile, in a European tie, the Londoners suffered a 2-0 defeat to PSV in Group A last Thursday, which means they will need to beat Zurich to secure their place at the top of the group.
