Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the Europa League is "all or nothing" for them.

With the Gunners 10 points off a top-four spot, winning the Europa League is their most realistic chance of playing in next season's Champions League.

"We want to be in the semi-finals and we know how important the game is for us," added Arteta.

"When there is criticism coming after the way we played against Liverpool, we have to take it on the chin because it's fully deserved for the way that we played.

"It's time to talk on the pitch and show what we can do."

Granada will be the 11th different Spanish side Manchester United have faced.

They lost their first ever meeting with five of the previous 10 (Athletic Bilbao in 1957, Real Madrid in 1957, Barcelona in 1984, Atletico Madrid in 1991 and Deportivo La Coruna in 2001).

Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "They're full of experience and character which you expect from teams who have been promoted recently. They had a great season last year and I think they're one of the teams who have played the most games this season."

Granada were in the fourth tier in 2006, the third tier in 2010 and the second tier in 2019.

They finished seventh in La Liga last season to qualify for Europe for the first time.

They are the first side since RB Leipzig in 2017-18 to reach the quarter-finals of a major European competition at their first go.

Slavia Prague are the first team to face three British opponents (Leicester, Rangers and Arsenal) in the knockout rounds of a European competition since AC Milan, who beat Celtic, Manchester United and Liverpool on their way to winning the 2007 Champions League.

Slavia Prague will be without defender Ondrej Kudela.

The 34-year-old has been given a provisional one-game ban while Uefa investigates the claim he racially abused Rangers player Glen Kamara in the previous round. He denies the claim.

If found guilty of racism, he could face a 10-match ban.

Granada are ninth in La Liga but have lost their past three matches in all competitions.

Former Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado starts, while Yangel Herrera and Kenedy, on loan from Manchester City and Chelsea respectively, also play.

Granada: Silva, Diaz, Duarte, Neva, Vallejo, Gonalons, Montoro, Puertas, Herrera, Kenedy, Soldado.

Subs: Escandell, Fabrega, Perez, Foulquier, Eteki, Sanchez, Machis, Suarez, Molina.

Manchester United make three changes from the side that began Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton.

David de Gea is in goal with Dean Henderson on the bench, while Scott McTominay and Daniel James come in for Fred and Edinson Cavani. Marcus Rashford, who went off during the win over Brighton, is fit to start.

Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, James, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford.

Subs: Henderson, Grant, Williams, Tuanzebe, Telles, Matic, van de Beek, Fred, Diallo, Mata, Cavani, Elanga.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta responds to last Saturday's tame 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool by making SIX changes.

Czech Republic 2019-20 champions Sparta Prague make two changes to the side that beat Rangers in the same competition on 18 March.

Ondrej Kudela is suspended. Defenders David Zima and Tomas Holes return to the side.
