Arsenal and Unai Emery handed major boost ahead of Europa League clash

They just might have got that in the shape of their next opponents. The Gunners face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday evening and can probably take some solace from the fact they too had a poor result at the weekend.

Augsburg inflicted a 2-1 loss on Adolf Hutter's side at the Augsburg Arena on Saturday afternoon. That proved to be second defeat from four Bundesliga games.

However, it should be noted that both losses have come away from home as they've got an 100 per cent record from four games across all competitions at the Commerzbank-Arena.

Therefore the north London outfit won't have it all their own way, but will hope to inflict successive defeats on the German side.

They let a 2-0 lead slip at Vicarage Road which has prompted some supporters to call for Emery to be sacked and replaced by Freddie Ljungberg.
