Arsenal take on Qarabag in Baku, Azerbaijan on Thursday in the Europa League hoping to extend their winning streak to eight games in all competitions.

The Gunners fine run of form started with their victory over Vorskla on Match Day 1.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is no stranger to the competition having lifted the European trophy three times in a row with Sevilla.

The North London based outfit made light work of Vorskla in the first Group G game with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil all getting their names on the scoresheet.

All three players have made the squad.

Ozil will have an added advantage in Azerbaijan of speaking the mother tongue of the country – Turkish and Azerbaijani are mutually intelligible accents of the Oghuz Turkish language branch.

Emery was given an injury boost after Greek international Sokratis Papastathopoulos recovered from injury in time to make the cut.

Arsenal will be without Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has refused to travel to Azerbaijan.

Mkhitaryan will not be traveling due to an ongoing conflict between his native country of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Arsenal Squad: Leno, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Papastathopoulos, Kolasinac, Monreal, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Ozil, Welbeck, Lacazette, Aubameyang
