Arsenal

The Gunners have been handed a favourable draw but one which requires a lot of travelling during the week.

Qarabag, Sporting Lisbon and FC Vorskla are Arsenal's first-round opponents between now and the turn of the year.

Emery won an incredible three Europa League titles with Sevilla, and the Spaniard admits he wants to go deep into the competition, just as Arsene Wenger did last season.

"First it’s three teams and we’ll have respect for them,” he told reporters this afternoon.

Chelsea

Matchday One will take place on September 20.
