Arsenal won over Bolton in Premier League last day and now The Gunners will host Olympiakos to play 2nd match of UCL at Emirates Stadium September 28, 2011. Arsenal Stars like Fabregas, Nasri had gone from Emirates and it makes Arsenal Squad predicted can't win a trophy this season. But a win over Bolton makes Arsene Wenger's side full of optimistic to win against Olympiakos this midweek.
Arsenal vs Olympiakos may become a very important match for two teams. Arsenal enters the game as a massive favorite and should score a tidy victory over Olympiakos, bolstering their chances to advance in the group stage. An Olympiakos win would be a monumental upset though, and would only further fuel the fire of Arsenal's detractors.
Arsenal were denied three matchday one points by a late Borussia Dortmund goal and had to settle for a 1-1 draw away to the German champions, while Olympiacos lost 1-0 at home to Olympique de Marseille.
