What will happen in this one though? Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment come the full time whistle.

A number of clubs across Europe are already well placed for progression into the knockout stages of the Europa Cup, including Arsenal. Successive wins to start their group campaign means the Gunners are basically through; almost certainly should they collect all three points at Crvena Zvezda.

Everton – the other Premier League side in this competition – on the other hand are bottom of their group and have collected just the solitary point so victory against French club Lyon, at Goodison Park, is a near must or the Toffees’ European aspirations will effectively be over before Christmas.

At the conclusion of these games we’ll be at the midway stage of the group phase, which, as eluded too, should leave things much clearer, if not basically decided in some cases come close of play this evening.
