• These clubs had never faced each other in UEFA competition until that 3-0 Matchday 1 win for Arsenal in Germany, late goals from Bukayo Saka – his first for the Gunners – and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – his 17th in the UEFA Europa League – adding to Joe Willock's first-half strike and inflicting Eintracht's heaviest European home defeat.
• Arsenal have played 39 UEFA matches against German clubs (W18 D6 L15). They have won 12 of the 19 at home but lost six, with five of those defeats coming in the last eight such fixtures, including a 1-5 loss to Bayern München in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League round of 32 that ranks as their heaviest at home in UEFA competition.
• Eintracht have won just two of their ten matches against English opposition (D4 L4) and have yet to gain a positive result in England, losing the first three of their four matches in the country and drawing the most recent, 1-1 with Chelsea in last season's UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg, before succumbing 3-4 on penalties to the west London side.
- Arsenal will be through if they draw or win, or if Standard Liège lose
- Frankfurt cannot qualify or be eliminated on Matchday 5
Arsenal: Ceballos out; Kolasinac, Holding and Saka doubts but could return
Frankfurt: @jones could be too coked up to watch
