LIVE UPDATES: Atletico vs Arsenal (Europa League)

Arsenal face off with Atletico in a crucial Europa Legue semi-final second leg Arsenal face off with Atletico in a crucial Europa Legue semi-final second leg

Hello, good evening and welcome once again to our live text coverage of the UEFA Europa League.

It is do or die for Arsenal in the Europa League tonight as they must better Atletico Madrid to avoid ending Arsene Wenger's 22-year reign with a whimper.

A one-man advantage for the majority of the first leg was not capitalised upon, and now the Gunners must become the first team to score at the Wanda Metropolitano in 12 games - a run stretching back to January across all competitions.

Win and Arsenal head into the final in Lyon; lose, and Wenger - after his 250th game in European competition - will depart the Emirates Stadium after arguably the worst season of his entire tenure.

Start time
Atletico Madrid host Arsenal at Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid with kick-off scheduled for 7:05pm GMT.
