Arsenal boss Unai Emery said he accepts fans' criticism after his side's defeat at Sheffield United on Monday saw them miss out on a chance to climb to third in the Premier League.

"In my career it's normal to have difficult moments and criticism for our work and my job," said Emery.

"We are in one point of view. The supporters' opinion, we need to accept that.

"We lost a very big opportunity in the Premier League to [move up to] third in the table. We are fifth and have chances on Sunday. We have to get better but it's one process. In that process I am happy.

"We need to think how we can progress and achieve our targets. Immediately, that's to win on Thursday. In this competition we won two matches and played very well with very good results."

A reminder of the teams..

Joe Willock is the only Arsenal player remaining from the starting XI who lost to Sheffield United in the Premier League on Monday.

Midfielder Mesut Ozil doesn't even make the squad, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also rested. Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Dani Ceballos are on the bench.

There's a start for 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli, who impressed in the 4-0 win over Standard Liege, while Alexandre Lacazette makes his first start since 1 September.

English 20-year-old midfielder Marcus Edwards, once at Tottenham, starts for the Portuguese visitors.

Arsenal: Martinez, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Tierney, Torreira, Willock, Maitland-Niles, Smith-Rowe, Martinelli, Lacazette. Subs: Leno, Ceballos, Pepe, Chambers, Guendouzi, Kolasinac, Saka.

Vitoria Guimaraes: Miguel Silva, Garcia, Frederico Venancio, Tapsoba, Hanin, Almeida, Agu, Poha, Edwards, Duarte, Davidson. Subs: Douglas Jesus, Pedro Henrique, Leo Bonatini, Rochinha, Al Musrati, Andre Pereira, Pepe.

Arsenal have been the best English team in this season’s Europa League by some way.

They have won their two games by a combined scoreline of 7-0, winning 3-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt and 4-0 at home to Standard Liege.

We'll bring you reaction from Manchester United's and Wolves' wins when we get it but it's time to look ahead to the late game.

Sho: Nothing good to say about that win. Horrible performance and could only score via a penalty which was our only shot on target. I get Ole doesn't have a big squad but I'm finding it really hard defending his style of play right now, if we even have a style.

Luke: How did Partizan lose that? You won't see a more one sided game in the Europa League all season. It was like one of those minnows v giants cupsets we get when the minnows somehow manage to win after a 90 minute onslaught from the giants.

Josh Earl: Satisfactory result but an unsatisfactory performance in Serbia, against a Partizan side that deserved something from the game. We were also lucky not to concede a a penalty.

Stewart Hitchcock: Struggling to a win you don't deserve with a penalty and Man Utd; name a more iconic duo.

It's all over. Two Europa League away wins in a row for Wolves.

Altaf Shaikh: United are masters at slowing the game down! So frustrating.

Vin Joshi: If Manchester United are indeed looking to sign a goalscorer who is mobile - I think Raul Jimenez would be a great option.

Babatunde Sakiru: Man Utd are still struggling to find their balance. There is no positive chemistry between the players and this indicates a regression for a big club.

Adama Traore is trying to keep the ball in the corner now with 70 seconds to go.

Slovan being urged on by 20,000 fans in a behind-closed-doors game come forward and win a free-kick on the halfway line as Raul Jimenez gets booked.

Anthony Martial's penalty was their only shot on target.

It's all over. Manchester United's first away win since PSG in March.

Good cross by Daniel James but Juan Mata isn't expecting it and air-kicks from six yards out.

Four added on in Slovakia.

Partizan bring on forward Dorde Ivanovic for Takuma Asano with 60 seconds left.

Three minutes added on as United keeper Sergio Romero punches a cross up in the air.

AZ Alkmaar are running away with things against Astana in Man Utd's group now.

They've scored three times in the last eight minutes to make it 5-0.

The Dutch side sit second behind Utd in Group L at the moment.

Wolves will end this game with 10 men. Diogo Jota catches Slovan captain Vasil Bozhikov late and gets a second booking.

They have three minutes to hold on now.

Partizan have had 15 shots to United's five. I'm sure this comment won't be popular with Manchester United fans but Partizan absolutely deserve a point. Only two minutes plus stoppages to go though.

The corner drops to Bibras Natcho on the edge of the box, he shuffles it onto his left foot and curls it just high and wide. A good effort.
