Arsenal will be aiming to keep their hopes of European silverware alive when they kick off their Europa League last-16 clash with Olympiacos on Thursday evening at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis.
Mikel Arteta's men advanced to this stage courtesy of a dramatic comeback victory over Benfica, with a 3-2 triumph in the second leg seeing the Gunners progress 4-3 on aggregate thanks to late goals from Kieran Tierney and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
However, Arsenal's preparations for this game did not go smoothly as they threw away two points at Burnley in catastrophic fashion, with Granit Xhaka's farcical error seeing the Clarets salvage a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor on Saturday.
