Arsenal will face Olympiacos in the Europa League last-32.

Despite failing to win any of their final three group games, Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Standard Liege ensured Freddie Ljungberg‘s side finished top of Group F.

The first leg will take place in Greece on 20 February, with the return fixture a week later on 27 February.

The Gunners’ state of turmoil deepened at the weekend as they were comfortably thrashed by Manchester City, with boos and empty seats again dominating the backdrop.

Mikel Arteta has now been installed as the overwhelming favourite for the job after pictures emerged of Arsenal directors Vinai Venkatesham and Huss Fahmy outside the City assistant’s house.

The result left the Gunners in ninth place in the Premier League, having won just five of their 17 league games this season.
