Tonight at The Emirates we entertain Standard Liege from Belgium in the Europa League.  

Their fans have been arriving all afternoon and as I sit in the office preparing this and getting ready to head up to the stadium, they are on the newly paved area outside Highbury and Islington Station singing and generally enjoying themselves. The drum is a little annoying though.  

As is usual the police presence is very light and they are keeping a watching brief.

Maybe a lesson to be learned from this instead of the almost Nazi tactics employed across Europe.

A few of them were a little naughty earlier as they let off fire crackers in the tube station at Kings Cross.

So let's have a good game and hopefully no surprises like the one our neighbours from nearby Middlesex got when they were on the receiving end of a 7-2 thrashing, at home, from Bayern Munich.

The starting eleven featured Bellerin returning from long term injury. Also starting were Tierney, signed from Celtic in the summer, and another returnee from injury Rob Holding. 

Also in that eleven were Martinelli, Willock and Nelson. Another trio of young and hungry players. 

Liège weren't very good. Goals from Martinelli (2), Willock and Dani Ceballos saw them off 4-0. 

Another good win.
