    It promises to be a night to remember for Amad Diallo and Shola Shoretire.

    Diallo made his Manchester United debut in the first-leg and barring a catastrophe for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men, will make his Old Trafford bow tonight.

    Shola Shoretire, meanwhile, came on as a substitute against Newcastle at the weekend and is set to eclipse Norman Whiteside as United's youngest European appearance maker.

    He was born in February 2004, which makes me shudder, I won't lie.

    Leicester City

    These sides drew in the first leg in Prague.

    Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans says: "The position we're in is OK, we've been away and didn't concede. Even though we didn't score we have got everything in our hands.

    "We have seen they can play good football and are very physical, it's going to be a good test for us.

    "Not particularly this competition, but in every competition, when you start you always want to go to the end of it."

    Slavia Prague boss boss Jindrich Trpisovsky said: "We will try to hold them off for as long as possible, hoping the longer we do the more nervous they will get. We wouldn't like the match to be decided on penalties."

    What a game - and that's just the start of the action. Leicester v Slavia Prague and Manchester United v Real Sociedad to come, with both starting in 10 minutes.

    That's all from me and it's over to Emlyn Begley and Shamoon Hafez to take you through the rest of the night's action.

    Rangers 5-2 Royal Antwerp (Agg: 9-5)

    Rangers get another penalty in added time and this time Cedric Itten steps up - and slams in.

    It's five on the night, nine in the tie. What a performance!

    Rangers are into the last 16. Follow reaction here.

    Arsenal have done it the hard way, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's headed goal in the 87th minute takes them through. Just.

    Benfica hit the post from Rafa Silva's header. But it wouldn't have counted anyway as he was offside.

    From talk of 'Arteta has to go' to Aubameyang's goal that might just send them through.

    That's why we all love this game. Two minutes of injury time to go.

    Now it's Arsenal's turn for time-wasting changes to tighten things up. On Calum Chambers and Mohamed Elneny. Off the excellent Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)

    That changes everything. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heads in from close range after a great pass from Bukayo Saka.

    They needed a goal. They have got a goal. They are heading through, unless Benfica score again.

    Two for Aubameyang, he's their hero, but that's a second assist of the night for Saka.

    Andrew Worby: Surely Arteta has to go if Arsenal lose this? Cups are gone, top six seems unlikely and limping out against an inferior team. Not good enough.

    10 minutes for Arsenal to save their season? Am I the only one who thinks we haven't the squad to win in Europe. We're better off having a good run of fixtures in the league with our best 11 week in week out.

    Nuno Tavares comes on for Benfica for Alex Grimaldo as precious seconds slip away from Arsenal. Five minutes to go, plus injury time.

    One goal for Arsenal is all they need. If they get it they will be in tomorrow's last-16 draw.

    Tottenham are the only side definitely through at the moment.

  16. Rangers through?!published at 19:35 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2021

    Rangers 4-2 Royal Antwerp (Agg: 8-5)

    Surely now.

    It's a third penalty in the tie for left-back Borna Barisic and Rangers are heading for the last 16.

    They could cause major problems for anyone on this form. Follow that one here.

    If we lose this on away goals playing at "home" in the furthest away stadium we've played at in Europe this year it is an absolute disgrace for European football. I know it sounds like I'm just bitter we haven't played very well (and we haven't) but it's harsh on any team this year with all the neutral venues and no fans (even the actual home ties don't have the same feel this year).

    Arsenal bring on Alexandre Lacazette in place of Hector Bellerin as they look to get another goal.

    Lacazette scored the only goal in this stadium when Arsenal beat Olympiakos 1-0 at this phase of the Europa League last season.

    But Arsenal eventually went out on away goals. They are 12 minutes away from doing the same, in the same round, for a second successive season.

    Joe Gibney: Arsenal 1-1 in Italy 1st leg. Arsenal currently 2-2 in Greece 2nd leg. Arsenal need another or they're going out on away goals. With neither team at home. Or something. My head hurts.
