    Mourinho will be talking about it shortly.

  14. A new-look Arsenalpublished at 09:49 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2017

    Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda (20:05 GMT)

    While Everton are scrambling to stay in the Europa League, Arsenal are one win away from the knockout stages.

    The Gunners have won all three Group H games so far and will make it through if they win against Crvena Zvezda (more commonly known as Red Star Belgrade) on Thursday.

    A draw will also be enough as long as Bate Borisov do not beat Cologne.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will continue to rotate his squad.

    Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud are all likely to come in, with Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Alexis Sanchez rested.

    Lyon v Everton (18:00 GMT)

    Everton remain in the bottom three in the Premier League and now their task is to stay in the Europa League.

    The Toffees could be knocked out of the competition if they lose at Lyon tonight.

    Defeat in the Group E game coupled with Atalanta avoiding defeat at Apollon Limassol would see them eliminated.

    Caretake boss David Unsworth will be without Wayne Rooney, Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka and Michael Keane.
