The UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg continues tonight with 15 matches scheduled to take place.
 
English outfit Arsenal host the Belarusian side BATE Borisov at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners will seek to redeem themselves after their first leg 1-0 loss at the Borisov Arena on Thursday.
 
Unai Emery's side will be without striker Alexandre Lacazette who was red carded in the first leg following an encounter with left-back Aleksandar Filipovic. Defenders Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin will also miss tonight's tie due to injuries.
 
Elsewhere Chelsea will welcome Swedish side Malmö FF to Stamford Bridge. Maurizio Sarri's side had a comfortable 0-2 away win at the Swedbank Stadion in Sweden last Thursday in the first leg and will be hoping to finish the job in London.
