David de Gea starts in three key changes, Predicted Manchester United line-up vs Roma
Manchester United will welcome Roma to Old Trafford for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday night. The Red Devils played out a frustrating 0-0 Premier League draw against Leeds United on the road last weekend. Despite this, they are in a comfortable position in the Champions League race. A single win from the final five games should secure their top-four spot. They are scheduled to host Roma in the Europa League tomorrow and are favourites for the game with the Serie A outfit on a three-match winless run. This will be the seventh meeting between the sides and the first since 2008. Roma have lost four of those encounters, including their last three trips to Old Trafford. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Since March, Dean Henderson has emerged as the regular ...
Lacazette and Aubameyang return, Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Villarreal
Arsenal travel to El Madrigal for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie against Villarreal on Thursday night. The Gunners have not had an ideal preparation for the game after a disappointing 1-0 league defeat to Everton. A Bernd Leno howler gifted the points to the Toffees. However, Villarreal are not in the best of form either. The Spanish outfit take on the Gunners on the back of successive defeats in La Liga. The game will see the reunion of the Gunners with former boss Unai Emery, who is now the head coach of the Yellow Submarines. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Leno cost the club dearly with an own goal last week, and he will be aiming to make amends. Mikel Arteta is unlikely to drop him for Mat Ryan despite the latter impressing in his two appearances for the clu...

‘Really good’: Mikel Arteta reserves special praise for two Arsenal stars after UEL win
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was delighted with the impact from Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe in the club’s stunning 4-0 Europa League win over Slavia Prague last night. The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, and they needed to score at least once in Prague to stay in the competition. Saka was poor with his finishing at the Emirates Stadium last week but made amends with an impressive all-round attacking display for the Gunners. His curled shot in the 15th minute was impressively saved by the goalkeeper, but he won the penalty for the club’s second goal a few minutes later. Saka made it 3-0 in the 24th minute with a clever finish at the near post, which caught the keeper wrong-footed as he was anticipating a shot towards the opposite upright. Me...

Villarreal versus Dinamo Zagreb completes the quarter-final line-up with the La Liga side leading 1-0 after the first leg. Europa League Quarte...
