  1. It's a romantic idea'published at 19:55 British Summer Time 19 September 2019

    Man Utd v Astana (20:00 BST)

    One of the Astana players who will be "living the dream" is 29-year-old midfielder Runar Mar Sigurjonsson, who is a lifelong Man Utd fan.

    He thinks Astana "have a great chance" of causing an upset at Old Trafford, where he used to fly to regularly from his native Iceland to attend games.

    "Of course it's a romantic idea," he said. "But you never know what can happen in football."

    "It's probably a good time to play them right now. They have a lot of injuries and perhaps haven't found their best team yet."

    He was part of the Iceland squad who lost 4-0 to Paul Pogba's French team in their Euro 2020 qualifier in March.

    Bresla Stephenson: So impressed with Emery's arsenal tonight. Definitely the team to fear in Europe this season and perhaps the EPL too!

  3. 'One of the best finishers I've seen'published at 19:53 British Summer Time 19 September 2019

    Man Utd v Astana (20:00 BST)

    Mason Greenwood had an impressive summer for Manchester United, scoring in pre-season victories over Inter Milan and Leeds.

    He made his debut in their Champions League last-16 victory over Paris St-Germain in March and will start his first game of the season tonight.

    "He's still very young. I remember the kid who just wanted to play with his mates in the under-18s," said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    "I just don't want to put too much pressure on him. Mason's one of the best finishers I've seen and I've played with a few decent ones.

    "There will be 11 Astana players living the dream - it is one of the biggest games of their careers - but I want it to be a memorable one for our players as well."

  4. 'Been a beautiful journey'published at 19:51 British Summer Time 19 September 2019

    Wolves v Sporting Braga (20:00 BST)

    More from Portugal midfielder Neves: "It's been a beautiful journey into the Europa League and it's a historic moment for Wolves; we're going to do our best.

    "It hasn't been an easy start to the season - we've had extra Europa League qualifying games and the Premier League is the best league in the world.

    "You are always going to have these moments in the season and we need to return to winning ways as soon as possible.

    "We have these games ahead of us and the most important thing is the game [tonight]. Our objective is to win the game. It'll be difficult but we're going game-by-game."

  5. 'Fatigue has nothing to do with it'published at 19:49 British Summer Time 19 September 2019

    Wolves v Sporting Braga (20:00 BST)

    Ruben Neves says Wolves' run in Europe has not contributed to their poor Premier League start.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side finished seventh last season but are winless this term after advancing to the Europa League group stage following six qualifying games.

    They suffered a 5-2 defeat to Chelsea at home on Saturday.

    "Fatigue doesn't have anything to do with it, we're all top players and are used to it," Neves said.

    "The Europa League doesn't have anything to do with our position."

    FT: Eintracht Frankfurt 0-3 Arsenal

    Joe Willock and Bukayo Saka weren't even born the last time Arsenal won the Europa League.

    Will they get more chances in the competition this season and help them win it again?

    Dave Payn: Sometimes over the past couple of season I’ve wondered whether a few of these Arsenal youngsters who get a run out in the Europa should get more game time in the PL. Couldn’t have done any worse than the showers at Watford last weekend.

    Eintracht Frankfurt 0-3 Arsenal

    A terrific result for Arsenal against last season's semi-finalists. And a very impressive performance from the youngsters.

    Job done.

    Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez deserves plaudits too. A wonderful performance between the sticks.

    But a real show of quality from Bukayo Saka.

    Ashley Harrington: What a game from Saka tonight!

    Adam Salter: Saka has grown and grown and grown in this game. Looked nervous at the beginning, but that goal caps a brilliant performance. Easily the Man of the Match.

    Bukayo Saka tries to find Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the centre but the ball just drifts past him.

    That wasn't too far away from a fourth.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Game over.

    Again, it's Bukayo Saka who is involved in the build-up. He robs the ball off Frankfurt captain David Abraham and it falls for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    He only has the keeper to beat and coolly slots it into the right corner.

    Bukayo Saka

    Stunning. Eighteen-year-old Bukayo Saka has had a night to remember and this goal just tops it off.

    It's a quick break from Arsenal which starts off with a roll out by Emiliano Martinez. Nicolas Pepe carries it down the right and cuts it back to Saka.

    The teenager shifts it onto his left foot and fires it straight into the corner from the edge of the box.

    Oh no, no, no! What a miss!

    Of all the players too... Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang manages to poke it wide from about three yards out.

    There wasn't anyone around him either. Awful miss.
