Already assured of place in the Champions League knockout stage, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will name a youthful side at Olympiakos tonight.

The Gunners sit top of Group F with an unassailable lead and Wenger will now give his young stars the chance to make an impression on the biggest stage in European club football.

The likes of Ignasi Miquel, Craig Eastmond and Nico Yennaris have all been included in the travelling party, while England U21 star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to start.

Tomas Rosicky could make his return from a thigh injury and the Czech Republic midfielder is joined in the squad by some experienced players, namely Andrey Arshavin, Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou and Marouane Chamakh.

But the biggest absentee from this match is leading striker Robin van Persie, who has been rested despite his blistering goal-scoring form of late.

Olympiakos are still in with a chance of following Arsenal into the next round of the competition, but their cause has not been helped by injuries.

The Greek side will be without the likes of Jean Makoun, Ljubomir Fejsa (both knee) and Ariel Ibazaga (thigh), while a calf problem as left Francisco Yeste doubtful.

David Fuster and Olof Mellberg have been troubled by groin injuries and their status is unknown.
