Whichever one involves the least travelling.
What happened to rubin kazan?
Odense, never heard of them.
Kyiv would be the trickiest tie

Liege used to be pretty physically strong, not a bad team, i remember liverpool narrowly beating them then they destroyed everton :P, i think time changed since then though.
odense, who are they? good luck as the rest could be tricky, didnt you play twente under mclaren and beat them comfortably recently?
Are these 5 sides more or less a definate. Why are they so sure it will be these 5?
Odense are Danish, so might be a bit more physical than Twente or Liege.
Don't fancy Kyiv much and Udinese are probably best avoided too.
Kyiv it'll be then... and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.

Arsenal cannot face a league champion, and there are other criteria that suggests it will be these five..the link above explains it all on arsenal.com
"Traveling to Eastern Europe. Never easy."
Really? I'll cancel my holiday to Poland then.
I'd say who ever is the worst at set pieces seeing that Arsenal are the worst at defending them!
I dont see how DKiev and Std Liege come into this as they are both on the verge of elimination.
Put Rubin kazan and Zurich in their place.Whichever team we meet we will most likely prevail, HOWEVER if we have similar defence lapses like in the last few pre-season games which is possible remember the Shathor Donetsk meltdown we could ver well go out.
Our hopes rest with van Persie to be honest, if he doesnt get injured in the Holland friendly we could be okay, however if we are budled out, this could be the worst period Arsenal has ever gone through since Wenger took over.
I wonder how Leboss deals with pressure because even his friendly journos that avoid asking him difficult questions will be left with no choice
Dynamo Kiev.... I remember when we faced them in the qualifiers a few seasons back and it took a blistering run and screamer of a half-volley from Bendtner in the second leg to win it!
We may not have him to save the day this time!
Any bar Kyiv. It's bloody miles away.

As big-headed as Nicklas undoubtably is, we can blame Bendtner Snr and Morten Olsen that we won't be able to call on him next season.
