TEAM NEWS

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could make wholesale changes for the trip to Olympiakos with qualification already secured, despite insisting in recent weeks that he would take a full squad to fight for first place.

Andre Santos (abdomen) remains a doubt but still could feature at left-back, while both Abou Diaby (thigh) and Lukasz Fabianski (shoulder) are definitely out. 

Francis Coquelin looks set to start for the Gunners in midfield and he could be alongside Tomas Rosicky on his injury comeback, with Johan Djourou also likely to get game time in defence. 

Olympiakos boss Leonardo Jardim has effectively no injury concerns coming into the match, although it is essentially a dead rubber for the Greeks too, with Europa League football already confirmed. 

Avraam Papadopoulous (knee) is set to miss action for the foreseeable future and is the only player definitely missing out, although a couple of those involved in the 2-1 win over Platanias are touch-and-go. 

Kostas Mitroglu and Giannis Maniatis both picked up slight knocks before being substituted but it is expected that they will both be available for selection.
