Key Battles: Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Arsenal host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Emirates Stadium in their penultimate Europa League group stage game on Thursday.

Arsenal have looked strong in this tournament, but due to a string of poor performances in the league and a slip up against Vitoria de Guimaraes, Unai Emery is under severe pressure to deliver a fine performance.

Frankfurt are desperate for a win to have a chance to progress to the next round. A surprise 2-1 defeat to Standard Liege has meant that for Frankfurt, this is a must-win game.

In the reverse fixture, Arsenal delivered a strong performance, winning 3-0 at a packed Commerzbank-Arena.

The sacking of Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham shocked the footballing world earlier in the week, and so too will it have shocked Emery, as he will know that his position is under threat.

But, qualifying for the knockout stages with a win in this fixture will help his side gain some confidence and ease the pressure off himself.
