CSKA Moscow vs. Arsenal: Team News, Live Stream, TV Info for Europa League

The success of Arsenal's 2017-18 campaign hinges on whether or not they can win the UEFA Europa League, and they have a very good chance of making the semi-finals on Thursday.

They head to Russia to face CSKA Moscow for the second leg of their last-eight tie, having earned a 4-1 lead from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal cannot afford to be complacent because an early goal from the hosts at the VEB Arena could turn the tide of the tie.

But Arsene Wenger's side can be confident of booking a last-four spot if they simply continue their current decent form.

Here are the viewing and scheduling details for a crucial clash:

Date: Thursday, April 12

Time: 8:05 p.m. BST/3:05 p.m. ET

TV Info: BT Sport 2 (UK), Fox Sports 1 (U.S.)

Preview

Wenger has never won a European trophy. He has come close, notably on three occasions in three separate competitions.

In 1992, the Frenchman's Monaco side lost 2-0 to Werder Bremen in the European Cup Winners' Cup final.

In 2000, one of Wenger's early Arsenal teams lost on penalties to Galatasaray in the final of the UEFA Cup.

Then, six years later, Arsenal had the chance to claim the biggest of European titles, but Barcelona prevailed 2-1 over the Gunners in the 2006 UEFA Champions League final.

At 68, and with Arsenal slipping further and further down the European pecking order, the 2017-18 Europa League could be Wenger's final chance to break his duck.

And after the convincing nature of their victory in the first leg against CSKA, a European trophy triumph is a step closer to becoming a reality for one of football's longest-serving managers. 

The second leg should be a formality. Arsenal go into Thursday's clash with momentum from six consecutive wins in all competitions.

CSKA, meanwhile, followed up their 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Arsenal last week by losing 2-1 at home to Dinamo Moscow.

The Gunners have more than enough quality and experience to put in the professional performance needed to reach the last four.

Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored doubles at home against CSKA to give the Gunners their comfortable lead in the tie.

Both will be raring to go again after being rested, along with many other key players, for Arsenal's entertaining 3-2 Premier League defeat of Southampton on Sunday.

Wenger will not allow his side to drop their intensity as he goes in search of an elusive European trophy late in his career.
