Kali terakhir sebelum ini Arsenal beraksi dalam saingan Europa adalah pada musim 1999/2000.
Selepas menamatkan saingan ditempat ketiga peringkat kumpulan pada saingan Liga Juara-Juara Eropah (UCL), Arsenal akhirnya terpaksa bermain pada saingan Liga Europa pada musim tersebut.
Kegagalan tersebut menyaksikan Arsenal terus bermain ataupun layak beraksi di pusingan ketiga (kalah mati) Liga Europa.
