      What do Arsenal need to guarantee qualification to the Champions League Last 16?

      by

      ARSENAL are among the favourites to advance straight into the Champions League’s Last 16.The Gunners are fifth in the League Phase table with eight points separating them from high flying Liverpool, but Mikel Arteta’s men have a game in hand.Arsenal might need only one more win to advance to the Champions League’s Last 16Credit: GettyThe North Londoners have two more games to go in the revamped first round consisting of 36 teams.Mikel Arteta’s men face Dinamo Zagreb tonight at the Emirates and then visit Girona on January 29.Arsenal have amassed 13 points from six matches of which they won four and lost only once.Just one more win from the final two games could send the Premier League giants straight into the Round of 16.Read More on ArsenalThe teams who finish in the top eight spots automatically qualify for the Last 16.And those who find themselves between ninth and 24th place will face off in the play-offs to determine the other eight teams that make it to the next round.Arsenal are currently five points ahead of Dinamo, who are 25th in the Champions League table.Opta found that in 99 per cent of their simulations, teams who collected 10 points made it into the play-off round, which means Arteta and co might already be guaranteed at least a spot in those.Most read in Champions LeagueEven nine points proved to be enough in 69 per cent of the simulations, which were run 50,000 times.But Arsenal will want direct qualification for the Last 16.16 points proved to be enough in 98 per cent of the available scenarios.Arsenal ratings: Trossard turns creator to put Gunners in driving seat but Merino and Partey lapses cost Arteta’s sideAnd 15 points were sufficient for eighth place in 73 per cent of the simulations. On the other hand, 14 points were enough in just 28 per cent of the supercomputer’s simulations.That means 15 points could be the magic number for Arsenal to avoid two crunch clashes amid their gruelling bid for a first Premier League title since 2004.That would mean one win from their final two games will likely be enough.

      Man Utd vs Rangers prediction: Europa League free betting tips, odds and preview

      by

      THERE’S so much on the line this Thursday when Manchester United host Rangers in a huge Battle of Britain clash in the Europa League.Such is the significance of the game, we’ve asked our betting experts to preview the European game and selected the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereNew sign-up offersSunSport exclusivesMan Utd vs Rangers previewThe worst team in Manchester United’s history host Rangers in a cracking Europa League tie on Thursday.They’re not our words. That’s the view of United’s boss Ruben Amorim who slaughtered his players after a fourth home defeat from five games at the weekend.United are such a strange side at the minute. They beat City in the derby then lost four and drew one of their next five games. That ends with a spirited and excellent FA Cup win at Arsenal before needing three late goals to beat Southampton and then flopping to a thumping home defeat to the Seagulls.They go into the penultimate matchday in seventh spot, one point and one place ahead of Rangers as both sides eye that top eight spot.Rangers have won three on the spin after two really disappointing draws which followed the Old Firm triumph.Europe has become a huge part of Gers’ season and this fixture has been in the calendar as a standout for some time.They sit 13 points off Celtic and the majority of that issue is their away form, having collected more points than Celtic at home and just 13 points from 11 away games.

Hagi isn’t in the European squad which is a big blow but a similar set-up can certainly help.United will have the majority of the ball but Rangers can still pose a threat, particularly looking at how United have been recently.Rangers are getting one or two of their key players back but not sure if they’ll return in time. They can still pose a threat.BTTS & Each Team Over 3 Corners at 3/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREYellowedWith Mo Diomande suspended, the obvious choice for a booking here is Nico Raskin.Set to buzz around in the middle of the pitch, Raskin – who has captained the side in James Tavernier and Jack Butland’s absence – has shown a terrific upturn in form to be one of the first names on the teamsheet.Booked at Olympiacos and in both recent Old Firm games, he likes to put his foot in when Rangers are the underdogs and spend time without the ball which can continue here.Nico Raskin to be carded at 7/4 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE*William Hill. 18+.

      Fans convinced they’ve spotted cut on Ruben Amorim’s finger in interview that gave away Man Utd boss’s furious outburst

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans are convinced they’ve spotted a cut on Ruben Amorim’s hand after it emerged yesterday that the Red Devils boss had launched a furious outburst on Sunday.It was claimed yesterday that Amorim had damaged a TV screen used for tactics in the Man Utd dressing room during an angry dressing down of his players after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton.Fans convinced they’ve spotted cut on Ruben Amorim’s finger in interview that gave away Man Utd boss’s furious outburstCredit: XHe appeared to have a small nick on his handCredit: XAmorim didn’t appear to have the mark on his hand during the gameCredit: GettyThe TV was allegedly damaged as collateral during Amorim’s passionate reaction to United falling to their third defeat in their last six Premier League games.And fans think they may have spotted an injury picked up from Amorim during his outburst after noticing what appears to be a cut on his finger during his post-match press conference.Supporters on social media pointed out the small nick on the 39-year-old’s hand and claimed that it wasn’t present prior to kick off.One fan wrote: “Is that a cut on his finger?”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLWhile another added: “Yep, that’s a cut!”A third commented: “Definitely looks like he punched something”.And a fourth speculated: “He’s punched the TV screen because of his anger”.Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was left covered in scratches himself earlier this season after his side gave up a three goal lead during a frustrating draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.Most read in FootballAmad Diallo is pictured in the dressing room with a TV seen behind him in video taken on the day of the match vs BrightonCredit: The SunPep Guardiola was left covered in cuts and scratches after Man City drew 3-3 with Feyenoord earlier in the seasonCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSMan Utd ratings vs BrightonBy Ken LawrenceANDRE ONANA was back to his worst as Manchester United fell to another Old Trafford defeat.It appeared Ruben Amorim’s side had turned a corner in recent weeks with a draw at Anfield and an FA Cup penalty shoot-out win at Arsenal.But dreadful individual mistakes cost them yet again with Onana the chief culprit.The keeper dropped a huge clanger as he palmed a simple cross straight to Georginio Rutter under no pressure whatsoever.There were few positive notes for the Red Devils as Amad once again provided a spark.Here is how SunSport’s Ken Lawrence rated the United display…ANDRE ONANA: 2 – No chance with either of the Seagulls’ first two goals. But an awful howler to gift them their third.MATTHIJS DE LIGT: 5 – Certainly doesn’t look like he likes players running at him as Kaoru Mitoma constantly did. Looked unsure of himself throughout.HARRY MAGUIRE: 6 – The one member of United’s three-man central defence who looked like he knew what he was doing. Beginning to believe in himself again.LENY YORO: 5 – The £52m youngster is still settling into the Premier League to be fair to him. But he is certainly taking his time about it.NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: 4 – Has been one of the few consistent successes of Amorim’s tactical revolution. Yet he had a real shocker this time around.MANUEL UGARTE: 5 – Supposedly “tired” in the 3-1 win over Southampton the midfielder looked brighter here. Yet he still doesn’t look that switched on.KOBBIE MAINOO: 4 – Where is last season’s Kobbie? Looks nothing like the buzzing homegrown midfielder who burst on the scene last season.DIOGO DALOT: 5 – Did his duties as a left wing-back to the best of his abilities. Another United player, however, who looked nothing like sharp enough.AMAD DIALLO: 7 – Thursday night’s 12-minute treble hero on a high again – unlike, again, so many team-mates. Sometimes his footwork is just dazzling.BRUNO FERNANDES: 6 – Ultra-cool from the spot but that goal didn’t do much to raise his performance level. Had one of those days where nothing really clicked.JOSHUA ZIRKZEE: 5 – “Won” the penalty after being brought down although Carlos Baleba’s challenge would have looked good in a wrestling ring. There’s a footballer in there somewhere…SUBSALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Mainoo 64): 5 – Struggled to make an impact in a team that was being taken apart.TOBY COLLYER (for Ugarte 64): 5 – Plenty of youthful commitment but still too inexperienced to lift a side as poor as Amorim’s.ANTONY (for Mazraoui 84): 4 – Talk about a last throw of the dice by Amorim…RASMUS HOJLUND (for Zirkzee 84): 4 – Given a thankless task in the closing moments of another depressing display.Amorim, who is known to have a quiet approach to post-game reaction, was clearly still reeling from his team’s performance after the match.The Portuguese gaffer slammed his side as the worst Man Utd team in history after the defeat.Man United players don’t trust Amorim’s tactics or each other – the utter humiliation by Brighton proved itHe said: “We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.“I know you want headlines but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and change that. So there you go, your headline.”In ten games in the Premier League we won two, I know that. Imagine this for a fan of Manchester United, imagine this for me.“You are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. Imagine that. We need to survive this moment. I know that.”United’s record at home this season is the club’s worst in the league in 131 years.They have not lost six games at Old Trafford in 12 opening league appearances since the 1893-94 season, when they lost seven.Amorim’s side are 13th in the table after 22 matches and sit closer to the relegation zone (10 points) than they do the top four (12).United were dismantled by Brighton on SundayCredit: Rex More
