Arsenal will mark a six year absence from Europe’s top-tier competition with the visit of PSV Eindhoven.
They qualified for the competition for the first time since the departure of Arsene Wenger after pushing Manchester City in a title fight last season – surpassing the expectations.
It was an important psychological milestone when they beat Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday – the first time in five visits – and sees them remain just two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League.
Arsenal are the second ranked team in their Champions League group, behind Sevilla but above PSV and Lens.

What is the team news?
Arsenal have not had a straightforward start to the season when it comes to injuries, including the man who could give them the inside information on the Eredivisie, the summer signing from Ajax Jurrien Timber.
Timber sustained an ACL injury and faces months on the sidelines, but more problematic for the Gunners was the injury Gabriel Martinelli picked up during the game at Goodison Park, and he had to leave the field in the first half with a hamstring problem.
Gabriel Jesus is working towards being fit enough to play a full match but Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny remain on the long-term injured list.
Predicted lineup
Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Rice, Vieira, Sakah, Nketiah, Trossard
Odds
Arsenal 3/10
Draw 16/5
PSV 6/1
