Good one for the Gunners

Arsenal will take on Rennes in the last 16 of the Europa League after the draw was made on Friday in Switzerland.

Both sides progressed to the next round with relative ease on Thursday night having also comfortably topped their groups, and they once again avoided the bigger teams left in the pot.

Rennes are currently 11th in Ligue 1 while Dynamo who will face Chelsea are seven points adrift of Shakhtar Donestk in the Ukrainian league, though it will be a long trip for Maurizio Sarri in between tricky games against Wolves and Everton.
