The Europa League returns with the round of 16 second leg ties scheduled to be played on Thursday.

Arsenal are well placed to reach the quarter-finals after securing a 3-1 lead over Olympiacos in the reverse fixture.

The Gunners are sweating on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who was withdrawn with a hamstring problem against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Spurs are also fancied to progress to the last eight as they travel to Dinamo Zagreb with a two-goal advantage.

However, Heung-Min Son (injury) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (suspension) will definitely miss the game.

Manchester United face a tough test in their tie against AC Milan after being held 1-1 at Old Trafford last week.

The Red Devils must score at least once in Milan to have any chance of progressing to the next round.

Rangers are also locked at 1-1 in their tie against Slavia Prague but have home advantage in the second leg.

Granada, Roma, Villarreal and Ajax all look in good shape to progress from their respective ties.
