Arsenal v FC Zurich live stream: How to watch the Europa League from anywhere in the world
The Gunners are already through to the knockout stages despite last week’s loss to PSV Eindhoven
Arsenal vs FC Zurich live stream, Thursday 3 November, 8pm
Arsenal have exceeded all expectations this season and sit proudly atop the Premier League table with 10 wins from their first 12 games.
Their form in the Europa League has been strong too, with victories in each of their opening four group games and just a single goal conceded.
That run came to an end away to PSV Eindhoven last week, but the Gunners are already assured of a place in the knockout rounds.
There’s still something to play for in their final game as a win at home to bottom club Zurich will guarantee their passage straight to the round of 16, avoiding the play-offs.
Arsenal come into that match on the back of a confidence-boosting 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Although they were disappointed to lose Bukayo Saka to injury in the first half, his replacement Reiss Nelson had an excellent impact.
On his first league appearance of the season, he grabbed a brace and an assist, issuing a welcome reminder of his ability.
The 22-year-old still has plenty of time on his side but has struggled for regular minutes under Mikel Arteta, even being sent on loan to Feyenoord last season.
Nelson’s only start of the current campaign came away to Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League and he will be hoping for another opportunity to shine against lowly Zurich.
The reigning Swiss champions have started their title defence terribly, costing manager Andre Breitenreiter his job.
They are still bottom of the league but results have at least improved under his replacement Bo Henriksen, who will be in the away dugout at the Emirates.
Kick-off is at 8pm on Thursday 3 November and the game is being shown on BT Sport 2. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Europa League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
