Arsenal have drawn Udinese in their Champions League qualifier.
The Gunners were seeded for the draw in Nyon, and will face a two-legged fixture over August 16/17 and 23/24, which is sandwiched between some tough Barclays Premier League games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Udinese have lost the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Gokhan Inler and Cristian Zapata from the team that finished a surprise fourth in Serie A last season.
