The group stage of the Europa League 2018-19 has been confirmed, with both Arsenal and Chelsea having long journeys in their search for glory.

The Gunners, semi-finalists of last season, were attracted in Group E next to the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, the Azerbaijani champions Qarabag and the Ukrainian outfit Vorskla.

The Portuguese club Sporting has started its domestic campaign undefeated, despite a difficult summer in which seven players canceled their contract after an attack by fans on the training field last season.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has won the game three times as manager of Sevilla.

Chelsea will have to leave a serious distance for the first time since they lifted the trophy in 2013 on their return to Europe & # 39; s second-degree competition.

Maurizio Sarri's Blues are signed with Greek silk PAOK, Belarusian champions BATE Borisov and Hungarian title winners Vidi in Group L.
