Europa League Preview

The Europa League group stages get underway, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Celtic and Rangers all in action.

Chelsea are favourites for the competition and open with a trip to Greece to face PAOK Salonika in Group L.

Arsenal take on Ukrainian outfit Vorskla Poltava at The Emirates and they will hope Unai Emery can add to the three Europa League titles he won with Sevilla.

Celtic, who have dropped into the competition following their Champions League failure, host Norwegian outfit Rosenborg, whilst Rangers face a tough looking trip to Spain to face Villarreal.

We run through every game with odds from BoyleSport including a pick from their man Lawrence Lyons and a prediction from our Football Insider Graeme Bailey.
