Match preview

Arsenal's bright performances under Mikel Arteta are finally starting to translate into positive results and, fresh from their 3-2 win over Everton, the Gunners can kill off their Europa League tie with Olympiakos.

They established a 1-0 advantage in Piraeus in an evenly poised contest but can put the tie beyond the Greeks by taking a first-half lead, as they did in all three of their home group matches against Vitoria, Standard Liege and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Arsenal have scored seven goals in their last two matches at the Emirates against sturdier defences in Newcastle and Everton, and their strength on the flanks should help them run out comprehensive winners.

Bukayo Saka has become a fans' favourite while Gabriel Martinelli could return to the squad to add pace to an attack which should not take long to wear down the visitors.

Match preview

Celtic could not hold on to the early lead they took in Copenhagen in the first leg of their last-32 clash but the Ladbrokes Premiership leaders have the attacking quality to turn chances into goals on home soil.

Neil Lennon's men dominated the Danes after Odsonne Edouard had put them ahead after 14 minutes and will feel the 1-1 draw in the first leg was an unfair reflection of the game.

But against the energised backdrop of Celtic Park, where they beat Lazio, Rennes and Cluj in the group stage, they should make sure of victory this time.

They did, however, keep only one clean sheet in the group stage and Mohamed Daramy and Dame N'Doye should help Copenhagen get on the scoresheet.
