Europa League group stage: Chelsea and Arsenal handed kind draws {See Full Draw}

Arsenal and Chelsea were handed favorable draws, although the Gunners will face a hefty amount of travelling in the Europa League group stages

Thoughts? That’s not great for Arsenal Europa group from a geographical point of view. You’d imagine they won’t be wild about travelling to Qarabag (Azerbaijan) and FC Vorskla (Ukraine). But Lisbon is lovely, so there’s that.

Chelsea, equally, might have liked to swerve BATE Borisov (Belarus). Nonetheless, both English clubs should make relatively easy work of actually qualifying.
