ARS vs OLY Dream11 Tips for Arsenal vs Olympiacos Europa League Fixtures 18 March

ARS vs OLY Dream11: 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. Olympiacos shocked many neutrals when they knocked Arsenal out of the Europa League last season, however they now face a mountain to climb if they wish to do so again, with the Greek champions needing to score three times in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium to stand any chance of qualification. Arsenal come into this riding the crest of a wave off the back of beating bitter rivals Tottenham 2-1 in the Premier League this past weekend, although Olympiacos will take heart from the fact that the Gunners have conceded in each of their last ten games in all competitions.

Injury Report and Unavailability: Arteta’s only concern is the hip injury that kept Emile Smith Rowe out of the Gunners’ weekend draw against Burnley. The youngster is a major doubt for this game as well.

Expected changes and Strategy: Calum Chambers was a surprise starter against Burnley at the weekend but Hector Bellerin or Cedric Soares should reclaim their place in the side here.

Arsenal Starting XI (Likely)

Bernd Leno
Hector Bellerin
David Luiz
Pablo Mari
Kieran Tierney
Thomas Partey
Granit Xhaka
Bukayo Saka
Martin Odegaard
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Alexandre Lacazette

Olympiacos News

Injury Report and Unavailability: Centre-backs Ruben Semedo and Avraam Papadopoulos were already out injured. At the weekend, Ousseynou Ba also picked up an injury.

Jose Sa
Kenny Lala
Sokratis Papastathopoulos
