Arsenal vs Olympiacos Preview:
Arsenal are set to play host to Olympiacos on Thursday at the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
Arsenal come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the English Premier League. Goals from young Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard and French striker Alexandre Lacazette ensured victory for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Argentine forward Erik Lamela scored the consolation goal for Tottenham Hotspur, and was sent off in the second-half.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, beat Larissa 3-1 in the Super League Greece on Sunday. Goals from Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan, Greek right-back Thanasis Androutsos and experienced Morocco international Youssef El-Arabi sealed the deal for Pedro Martins’ Olympiacos. Slovenian forward Marko Nunic scored the sole goal for Larissa.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be hoping to return after being left out of the side for Sunday’s North London derby win due to disciplinary reasons, although Bukayo Saka is unlikely to feature after coming off injured in that clash.
Avraam Papadopolous and Ruben Semedo are both ruled out, while Marios Vrousai and Ousseynou Ba are doubtful.
