Arsenal look for three points as they play Red Star Belgrade away
Kick-off : 7:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Red Star Stadium, Belgrade
Arsenal have so far played two games and have won both. It means they are ahead and on their way to next round.
A win on Thursday night will hand them a five point advantage at the top of Group H. They can then afford to rest a few key players.
Red Star Belgrade though have proven to be a tough team to beat in the Serbian League. They have just conceded three goals from the 14 games played so far.
It should be a good game on Thursday night as both teams will give their all.
