Arsenal will seek a 2nd win from as many matches in the 2022-23. Europa League when they welcome Norway’s Bodo/Glimt to the Emirates Stadium for Thursday’s Group A clash. The Gunners has opened continental proceedings with a 2-1 win over FC Zurich. As Arsenal’s encounter with FC Zurich on September 8 approached half time then news filtered through that Queen Elizabeth II had died, leading to the suspension of the Gunners’ clash with PSV Eindhoven as security prioritised Her Majesty’s state funeral.
The extra rest has done Mikel Arteta’s side little harm as they continue their early spate of dominance in the Premier League. Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka all made the net ripple in front of a jubilant Emirates crowd to keep Arsenal one point clear at the top of the Premier League standings. Arsenal’s improving squad depth will come to the fore in domestic as well as continental action, and Arteta’s side welcome Bodo/Glimt to the Emirates having won each of their last seven competitive games at home.
