Arsenal has won all seven of its previous games against Swiss teams, while Zurich has only won one of its last 17 away games in major European tournaments and has never won on the road against an English club.
The group is so well matched, however, that many people will also be keeping an eye on PSV Eindhoven's trip to Bodo/Glimt. If they beat the Norwegians, they might be able to pass Arsenal and move into first place.
It took Zurich until the weekend before the Europa League matchday 6 for them to experience success in the Swiss Super League when they defeated Sion 1-0.
After beating Bodo/Glimt 2-1 last week thanks to Antonio Marschesano's late goal, Zurich is now headed to north London with two straight wins.
They have nine points and nine goals, which puts them at the bottom of the league, six points below their closest competitors.
Bo Henriksen, a former Kidderminster Harriers and Bristol Rovers striker, took over as manager after Franco Foda was fired in September due to his poor performance.
They also lost each of their first four Europa League contests, giving up 10 goals in two defeats to PSV, but the victory against Bodo/Glimt now offers them an opportunity to join the Europa League by defeating the Gunners.
The match will be live on Sky Sports, GOTV, DSTV, Canal+, and a bunch of streaming apps.
