Europa League

Arsenal face a very tricky test when visiting Slavia Prague in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie. The Gunners looked the better team in a 1-1 London draw, but their opponents have gone 30 home games without defeat, drawing with Leicester and Rangers at Eden Arena. More...

Manchester United enjoyed a relatively comfortable 2-0 victory over Granada in Spain and should again be too strong at Old Trafford. However, they are without a trio of key suspended players, while their opponents may feel able to perform with more freedom now that the pressure is off them. More...

Ajax will look back on the first leg of their Europa League clash with Roma as a missed opportunity but there is still time to make amends. The Dutch outfit wasted a number of goalscoring opportunities but should still be hopeful of turning around a 2-1 deficit at Stadio Olimpico. More...

Villarreal are firmly on course to continue Spain's proud Europa League record after returning from Croatia with a 1-0 advantage over Dinamo Zagreb. The Yellow Submarines put in a professional display to prevail in that opening encounter and it is hard to see a way back into this tie for their opponents. More...

Manchester United's first Europa League encounter with AC Milan at Old Trafford was a very even contest and few would argue 1-1 was a fair result. The return fixture in Italy promises to be another close contest, so we can't see why the Red Devils have been made firm favourites to come out on top. More...

Arsenal were knocked out of the Europa League by Olympiacos last season despite winning the first leg so will be hoping lightning does not strike twice at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are in control of their round-of-16 tie after a 3-1 win in Greece last week and their confidence was further boosted by Sunday’s derby victory against Tottenham. More...

Tottenham hold a 2-0 lead heading into the second leg against Dinamo Zagreb and should reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League without too much fuss. Harry Kane’s brace proved decisive in the first leg last week and another solid defensive display would see Spurs through. More...

Rangers battled back to claim a 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague last week and are now clear favourites to progress to the Europa League quarter-finals at Ibrox. We correctly tipped 16/5 for a score draw and 29/10 for both teams to score in the first half in the first leg so hopefully we can repeat that success. More...

Arsenal were the better team in last week's 1-1 Europa League draw with Benfica in Rome and are taken to come out on top in the second leg in Greece. Coronavirus issues have created the need for neutral venues, but the Gunners have performed well on the road in this competition in recent years. More...

The first leg of the Europa League last-32 tie was a scrappy 0-0 draw but Leicester are now clear favourites to go through in the second leg. A clean sheet in the Czech capital means the Foxes should progress if they can be more ruthless with their finishing at the King Power Stadium. More...

Manchester United put in one of their best performances of the season when thrashing Europa League opponents Real Sociedad 4-0 in Turin. The pressure is now off ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford, though, so the Red Devils may have one eye on Sunday's Premier League trip to Chelsea. More...

Rangers have one foot in the last 16 of the Europa League after a 4-3 win in the first leg but still face a tricky test in the return match at Ibrox. Borna Barisic's spot-kick double ensured Steven Gerrard's team claimed a one-goal lead from a roller-coaster clash in Belgium. More...

Tottenham may see winning the Europa League as their best chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League following a dip in their domestic form. Spurs already look assured of a place in the last 16 after beating Wolfsberger 4-1 in Budapest in the opening leg of this tie, even with Harry Kane rested. More...

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we have taken our annual look at which pairs of footballers form the best goalscoring partnerships on the pitch. We have measured this across a range of competitions by calculating the combined goalscoring rate of every pairing per 90 minutes spent together on the pitch since the start of last season. More...

Leicester are hot favourites to wrap up first place in Europa League Group G by seeing off already-eliminated AEK Athens at King Power Stadium. The Foxes have already brushed aside Braga 4-0 and Zorya 3-0 on home turf and are unbeaten in their last eight European matches at this venue. More...

Celtic are enduring a miserable season and will crash out of the Europa League regardless of how they get on in their final match in Group H. The Hoops have only picked up one point from their first five games and have nothing but pride to play for, although Neil Lennon will be desperate to ease his job worries. More...

Tottenham have already qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa League but top spot in Group J is up for grabs when they host Royal Antwerp. However, only a win for Spurs will ensure they finish first and avoid the sides which will drop into the competition from the Champions League. More...

Rangers are fancied to wrap up top spot in Europa League Group D by winning in Poland against Lech Poznan, who are already out of contention for the knockout rounds. Steven Gerrard will be keen to progress as pool winners and avoid facing a team dropping down from the Champions League in the last 32. More...

Arsenal are already through as Europa League Group B winners and are Dundalk consigned to finishing bottom following five straight defeats. However, the Irish outfit do still have a point to prove here, with the Gunners being the only team to nil them in the pool so far. More...

Tottenham require just a point to progress from Europa League Group J when visiting LASK and Jose Mourinho is a past master at grinding out such results. Spurs cruised to a 3-0 victory when these teams met in London on Matchday 1, but their hosts are rated a better team than they showed that night. More...

Celtic are already doomed to dropping out of the Europa League and face a daunting trip to Italy to take on AC Milan this week. However, Neil Lennon will be keen to see some sort of response to his side's poor run of results when they step out at the San Siro seeking to salvage some pride. More...

Leicester have already qualified for the Europa League knockout stages, so they may ease off a touch when visiting the Ukraine to face Zorya. However, Brendan Rodgers has some useful fringe players pushing for more game time and they are still fancied to prove a cut above their hosts. More...

Rangers have built up a ton of momentum this season and can book a place in the Europa League knockout rounds by seeing off Standard Liege. Steven Gerrard's side prevailed 2-0 when these teams met in Belgium, thanks to James Tavernier's 19th-minute penalty and Kemar Roofe's spectacular late strike. More...

Arsenal may be struggling in the Premier League but Mikel Arteta's men are sitting pretty in their Europa League pool with maximum points from four games. Rapid Vienna kept their hopes of qualifying alive with a couple of wins over Dundalk but do not usually travel well in this competition. More...

Celtic are in danger of an early exit from Europe and will be out for revenge after a 4-1 thrashing by Sparta Prague three weeks ago. That dismal performance at Parkhead left Celtic bottom of Group H with just one point from their first three games and they will be out to restore some pride in the Czech capital. More...

Leicester cruised to a 4-0 win against Braga three weeks ago but are unlikely to find it quite so easy in Portugal. Kelechi Iheanacho's brace helped the Foxes take control of Group G and anything other than a defeat would leave them in pole position to win the group. More...

Rangers and Benfica are level on seven points each in Europa League Group D and could clinch their place in the knockout stage with victory here depending on the other result in the group. Rangers have been strong defensively this season but the original meeting in Portugal three weeks ago was a different story as they shared a 3-3 draw. More...

Arsenal are yet to drop a point in the Europa League this season and another victory in Norway would ensure qualification for the knockout stage with the minimum of fuss. The Gunners have been struggling for goals in the Premier League but it has been a different story in Europe, where they have netted nine goals in three group games. More...

Tottenham were far too strong for Ludogorets when they met in the Europa League three weeks ago and should enjoy another routine win in the rematch. The 3-1 victory in Bulgaria was more one-sided than the final result suggested and Ludogorets are bottom of Group J after losing all three matches and conceding nine goals. More...

Tottenham showed great spirit to get past Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Tuesday and will now hope for a smooth Europa League success against Maccabi Haifa. The Israeli outfit upset Rostov of Russia in the previous round of qualifiers but are expected to be out of their depth in this contest. More...
