Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been putting his players through their paces ahead of Thursday’s Europa League meeting with Bodo/Glimt.

The Gunners are loving life at the minute, sitting top of the Premier League table and beating their North London rivals last time out.

Likewise, Arsenal have got off to a good start in the Europa League, beating FC Zurich 2-1 a month ago.

Now, Gunners fans will see European football at the Emirates Stadium for the first time this season.

On Thursday, the 2021 Norwegian champions come to town hoping to take points off Arteta’s charges.

But despite Arsenal being favourites, the players are taking nothing for granted.

On Wednesday, Football Daily shared footage of the Gunners’ latest training session at London Colney.

The Arsenal players were competitive in the session, to put it mildly.

At around 45 seconds in, several Gunners players were tussling for the ball.

And in the aftermath, Fabio Vieira is seen limping away.

However, the 22-year-old looks like he’s smiling, so it doesn’t seem like a cause for concern.

It looks like a great atmosphere in the Arsenal camp, and no surprise really, given how well they’ve been doing.

Arteta and Edu deserve credit for putting together such a cohesive team amid criticism over the past few years.

Obviously it’s still early in the season but Arsenal are certainly on the right track.
