BATE vs Arsenal: tv channel, live streaming, team news and preview

With a return to winning ways and the gap with the top four in the Premier League reduced to one point with the victory at Huddersfield last weekend, Arsenal is back in the continental competition as he faces a trip from Valentine's Day to BATE in Europa League.

The Unai Emery Gunners dismissed their defeat against Manchester City to regain momentum and revitalize Chelsea in the Champions League race.

However, as the title of high flying champion is a distant dream and their chances of success in FA Cup or Carabao Cup are over, their exploits in Europe are now the only chance to win silverware.

A trip to the Belarusian champions is the first step on the road to this year's final in Baku. Arsenal will be determined to do even better after reaching the semi-finals last season.

In the United States, the game will not be shown on television. However, it will be broadcast on Bleacher Report's B / R Live service.

In the United Kingdom (UK), the game will be broadcast on BT Sport 2 and broadcast live on the BT Sport Live app.

In the absence of competitive national football between December and April, this is BATE's first match in 2019 with real significance.

Nemanja Milic makes his debut at the club, but Dmitri Bessmertny and Bojan Dubajic are absent. Former Gunners man Aleksandr Hleb faces his former club.

BATE from XI: Scherbitskiy; Rios, Volkov, Filipenko, Filipovic; Baga, Dragun, Hleb; Skavysh, Milic, Stasevich.

Mesut Ozil has no place in the Arsenal travel group, but the German is again in the cold.

Aaron Ramsey, Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck are all injured.

Arsenal from XI: Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Kolasinac; Mkhitaryan, Lacazette, Iwobi.

Arsenal is the favorite to win a decisive victory at 4/11 with bet365. BATE's prices are at 17/2 while a draw is available at 9/2.

After leaving the FA Cup for Manchester United and losing the top four with a loss to Manchester City, Arsenal was probably relieved to recover after his victory over Huddersfield this weekend.

However, with their defeats at the hands of Red Devils and Citizens, the Gunners have now seen any chance of national success escape them again.

As such, their return to continental action with a Europa League trip represents Unai Emery's last chance to win silver in his first season at Emirates Stadium. This is an opportunity he will want to seize.

Three-time winner of the competition with Sevilla several years in a row – a success in taste in 2014, 2015 and 2016 -, the Spaniard hopes to take Arsenal a better than his semifinal exit under the leadership of Arsene Wenger last season.

In his own way, the Belarusian champion, BATE, has not only progressed beyond the round of 32, but has not played in a competitive match since 2018.

The Alyaksey Baha team has seen several new faces enter the fray during the off season, many of them being ready to debut for the club when they host the Gunners.

They are also looking for a minimum of revenge if possible – Arsenal has spread by a total score of 10-2 when the duo clashed in the group stage of the Europa League last season.

Igor Stasevich is likely to keep the key to them if they hope to deliver a shock – with a total of six, he has made more badists than any other player in the competition this campaign.
