The Gunners will also have to overcome Basel and Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad.

Their campaign will begin on the week of September 13-14, the group stage ending on December 6-7.

The final at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium will take place on June 3.

Arsene Wenger’s men have struggled to get past the knock-out round of the competition in the last few years.

And it will be the 19th season in a row that the Frenchman has led the side into the Group stages.

The Gunners were knocked-out by Barcelona last season but will be hoping the can go one better than 2005 when the finished runners-up.

Ludogorets overcame Viktoria Plzen in the qualifying round to make it to the group stages.

And being drawn against Basel means the Gunners will not face a lengthy trip that could impact their Premier League season.
