Arsenal are closing on on the quarter-finals of the Europa League - but they must tonight first navigate the second leg of their last-16 tie against Olympiacos.
The Gunners won the first leg 3-1 away from home to take control of the tie, and followed that up with a morale-boosting north London derby win over Tottenham on Sunday.
While a top-four finish looks beyond Arsenal this season, Champions League qualification is possible by winning the Europa League - and Mikel Arteta proved with last season’s FA Cup triumph that he is capable of guiding the Gunners past tough cup opponents.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos is scheduled for a 5.55pm GMT kick-off on Thursday, March 18, 2021.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos prediction
The big games come thick and fast for Arsenal these days, but one saving grace is that they don’t have far to travel after last weekend’s north London derby win. Arteta should rotate and while Olympiacos will be out for goals, the Gunners should win again.
2-1 Arsenal win.
