Interesting to see how much Arsenal rotate.

Even though it would be a rare European trophy for them in reality I don't think winning the Europa League does much for them. I think most fans wouldn't be too fussed going out if it means they can solely focus on going for the league title. City still in the UCL and FA Cup so could be a fractional advantage for Arsenal having longer rests
 
Not sure if I'll get to see any but if I do I think I'll watch Frieburg v Juve and Alkmaar v Lazio.

Feyenoord v Shakhtar (1-1 from the first leg) could be interesting if folk can see it - these other games might be on the red button?

Aye think majority are red button, just not ones listed as Digital Exclusive. Gutted there's no Goals Show.

I reckon winning the Europa would be a pretty big thing for Arsenal, but the league is surely their main aim. So yeah, their selection tonight could tell us something about their priorities.

Maybe just wants to increase the chances of winning to get momentum going again.
 
Had watched first half hour or so and that boy was a red card waiting to happen. Man U v Juve next round be ideal.
 
Basel have went downhill recently. Were in a semi final a while back now 2-0 down to Slovan Bratislava.
Went and watched them other week at home. Was surprised how far they have fallen down. Tell you one thing though - decent Ultras set up, was surprised.
 
If anyone is wondering why none of these Betis chances have gone in, it's cos I've got a 5er on them.
 
Keeper should be doing better with that Rashford goal. And the defence might have at least tried to close him down.
