Arsene Wenger has insisted Arsenal will not underestimate Ostersunds when they face the Swedish minnows in the Europa League this evening.

Arsenal are strong favourites, but boss Wenger has warned that their opponents should not be underestimated.

Wenger said: “When I saw them play, I understood why they did well against Bilbao and Berlin. It wasn’t a coincidence.”

Danny Welbeck is set to start for Arsenal, who are without the injured Alexandre Lacazette and the ineligible Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“Danny Welbeck looks sharper than he has in a long time,” Wenger added.

“He had to wait a little to get back into the team, but that gave him time to work on his fitness.”
