Arsenal face Ludogorets Razgrad in the first of successive European ties against the Bulgarian champions in a bid to continue to top Champions League Group A.
The Gunners are unbeaten in Europe this term after victory at home against FC Basel earlier this month followed a draw with Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
Despite not being the most heralded of names in the competition, Ludogorets have proven themselves to be tough opponents for Europe’s finest, taking an early lead against PSG and returning from Basel with a point. Liverpool can also attest to the challenges that come with a trip to Razgrad, being held to a 2-2 draw in 2014.
It is perhaps why Theo Walcott warned that Arsenal could not take anything for granted when Ludogorets visit the Emirates tonight, reminding his team-mates of the disastrous defeat at home to Olympiakos that left the Gunners battling to secure qualification from their group last season.
