AC Milan
They have been winless for two matches. Obviously they are fatigued as they play two high-intensity games in a week. They are sitting the second place in Italian Serie A, 1 point ahead of Juventus. They also need to prepare for the League game in four days, which brings trouble to Stefano Pioli.
Manchester United
They are facing the challenge of injuries at present. But they are still in good condition, which have got a thirteen-match unbeaten run so far thanks to their excellent defensive. They are likely to defeat AC Milan as long as they put more efforts on offensive.
Verdict:
Luckily AC Milan score a goal in injury time in last round, leading to a 1-1 draw. However, AC Milan do not play well as host, which have been winless for four host game continuously. So the victory is tending to the guest.

Arsenal vs Olympiakos Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Arsenal:
Leno; Bellerin, Luiz, Mari, Tierney; Xhaka, Ceballos; Pepe, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Aubameyang
Olympiacos:
Sa; Lala, Sokratis, M'Vila, Reabciuk; Camara, Bouchalakis; Bruma, Valbuena, Masouras; El Arabi
Arsenal and Olympiakos will try to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League when they face at the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of their last-16 battle. As You probably know, Arsenal won 3:1 in Athens and they are clear favorites for progress. Martin Odegaard scored the opener after 34 minutes. It was his first goal after more than a year. Last time the Norwegian talent scored was on 13 February 2020 for Real Sociedad. Olympiakos managed to equalize in the second half. Bernd Leno played substitute Dani Ceballos into trouble and Youssef El Arabi stroked in a leveler. However, the Gunners showed their class in the finish of the match. In the 79th minute Gabriel restored the lead with his header after Willian's right-wing corner. Willian has provided seven assists in all competitions, more than any other player this season. Six minutes later Mohamed Elneny made it 3:1.
Arsenal were excellent so far in Europa League. The Gunners are the most efficient side with 27 goals in nine games. At the same time, Arsenal won eight of these nine games. They played six games in the group stage and won all of them, beating twice Molde, Rapid Vienna and Dundalk. The only match the failed to register a victory was against Benfica in the first knock-out stage. Arsenal also had a successful weekend in domestic Premier League. On Sunday they beat Tottenham in North London derby. Even they were without Aubameyang for disciplinary reasons, the Gunners came from behind with goals scored by Odegaard and Lacazette and collected three points. However, the fourth place is still far away, so a success in UEFA Europa League is their only realistic option to play in the Champions League next season. Arteta has two worries ahead of this match. First, Bukayo Saka suffered a hamstring injury against the Spurs and won't play here. Second is connect with the captain Aubameyang, who broke the club internal rules. I expect to be included in the starting eleven.
Olympiacos will not give up despite the first-leg defeat at Karaiskakis. The Greek champions initially played in the Champions League, but finished third in the group, behind Manchester City and Porto. They have collected only three points after beat Marseille at home. No other third placed finisher got lower than four points. In the first knock-out round, Olympiakos have eliminated the Dutch Giants PSV with 5:4 aggregate victory. The domestic form is good, they beat Larissa with 3:1 during the weekend. The Red and Whites are first on the table with 16-point advantage over second-placed Aris Thessaloniki. Coach Martins had huge injury issues in the first match, particularly in defense. The situation looks better now as Yann M'Vila is available and should start alongside Sokratis in the heart of the defense. Ruben Semedo and Avraam Papadopoulos are still struggling with injuries, while Ousseynou Ba is rated as doubtful. Both full-backs, Kenny Lala and Oleg Reabciuk, were rested for the weekend, but should return to the starting eleven against Arsenal, as well as the midfielders Mady Camara and Mathieu Valbuena.
Arsenal vs Olympiakos Prediction:
Arsenal have scored 27 goals on the nine Europa League games this season. This is an average of three goals per game. In addition, 14 different players have scored these 27 goals. No other team have such powerful statistic. So, Arsenal could alone to score three goals in this match, but don't underestimate Olympiakos. The Greek champions have scored six goals on the three matches they played in knock-out phase of Europe League.
