They now need to beat Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos in their final two games, and hope the Greek side lose at Bayern.

"There is still a chance to qualify," said Wenger. "We have to realise that our chance is at a minimum." 

Hailsham Town: Obviously Nicky Banger (Southampton & Oxford) up front...  

Stuart MacLennan: Kevin Theophile-Catherine Wheel  

John Dykes: David James I (the first) in goal? Is that too tenuous?  

Reasonably high brow from John there...

In the return tie on Wednesday, City fans did the same ahead of the game as well as holding up 'Boo' banners.

Manchester United are getting in on the act...

Andy Murray is not hanging about today.

He has taken the first set against David Goffin 6-1 in just 24 minutes.

And he is already a break up against the Belgian in the second set.

And that is your lot from West Ham manager Slaven Bilic.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilicdoes not seem too worried about the attacking threat of Everton, despite the Toffees beating Sunderland 6-2 on Sunday.

"Everton won 6-2 last week and it was a weird game. Sunderland started well, then Everton scored two goals."

"It went to 2-2 and Everton looked shaky, but when they scored the third and fourth, it could have been nine, 10.

"They are full of confidence, but so are we because we are a team who are playing well and will be at home."
