The draw is relatively favourable for Arsenal, who could have been paired with a number of the biggest clubs in Europe in Monday's draw. But Ostersunds proved in the group stages that they are no pushovers.

Ostersunds' story captured attention when they qualified for the knockout stages for the first time. But that is just the latest in a string of success stories for a club managed by Englishman Graham Potter.
