Arsenal's Europa League campaign gets back underway on Thursday when they face a tricky opponent in Benfica for a spot in the last 16.

The Gunners head to Estadio da Luz for the tie's first leg having won six from six in the group stages but will be wary of a Benfica side usually more accustomed to competing in the Champions League.

Jorge Jesus' men qualified by virtue of finishing second to Rangers in a fiercely competitive Group D and the two-time European Cup winners should present a difficult test for Arsenal at this stage of the competition.

Will Arsenal emerge from Lisbon with something to cling on to ahead of next week's second leg in London? Or will Arteta's men find themselves in trouble just as they did last season against Olympiacos?
