Arsenal’s tough Europa League tie on StarTimes
UEFA Europa League quarter-finals return leg will be played this evening at 8pm live on StarTimes.
While Aubameyang’s Arsenal is in a tough spot after their disappointing draw against Slavia Prague at home last week, Manchester United will be much more confident thanks to Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes’ goals that gave the Reds a 2-0 victory.
Of the four home sides in last week’s first leg quarter-final matches of the Europa League, Arsenal achieved the best result.
The Gunners were the only club to avoid defeat in their own stadium, though the Premier League club were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Slavia Prague.
The two other quarter-finals see La Liga club Villarreal take on Dinamo Zagreb in Spain with a 1-0 lead from the away leg, while Roma defend a 2-1 lead at home against Ajax Amsterdam.
Since being re-launched as the Europa League in 2009, the competition has grown in stature and regularly grabs its share of footballing headlines. With clubs like Arsenal and United involved, the world will be watching this week’s return legs quarter-finals live and exclusively on the StarTimes channels as Africa’s leading digital-TV operator broadcasts all the action from the exciting Europa League.
