Arsenal know that winning the Europa League is their only chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League. They will need to give their all.
Gunners though are not in such fine form as they lost to Brighton at the weekend. But they will need to lift themselves up ahead of the Milan game.
On the other hand, AC Milan also topped their group in the group stages and will be hoping for success in the knockout stages.
AC Milan are currently struggling in Serie A as they are seventh in the table. Although they progressed to the final of Coppa Italia last week.

All in all it should be a good game on Thursday as both teams will give their all.

Prediction

Montella and Allegri is not only the worst thing that happen milan but also italy and the football world. Allegri too,, he lost t.silva he lost ibra.. thats why he didnt bring results.. NO allegri was stupid from DAY 1. Even when he won scudetto he was STUPID. I never seen such a loser for a coach my entire life. If it was up to me i would sack allegri after his first game as milan coach. Allegri is the MAIN cause of milan situation.. he SINGLE handed turned an attacking entertaning milan side to the most booring defensive and controled milan side. Excautly what he is turning juventus too.. Allegri NEVER won a scudetto in his entire life beucase of his tactcits.. he only won because the other teams underpeformed. Allegi had pato, dinho, pirlo, cassano, kaka.. what did he do??? He played 3 defensice midfielders for 3 seasons.. and not ONCE he realised why his strikers doesnt score because an engine doenst work without a transmission.. his transmission was 3 lumberjack midfielders.. so he kept changing engine and galliani supported him for MONEY.. his on MONEY.. so he could make genoa signingsAllegri by far the WORST thing that happen milan. Montellawhat a MORON. Its a miracle our players has recovered from his illness.. montella has a mental issue in his brain no doubts.. his rotatation system cleary shows his mental illness. I feel sorry for both the kids of allegri and montella.. they must have the most booring dad in the entire world.
