The very last European jaunt of 2017 sees Everton travel to Apollon Limassol before Arsenal then host BATE Borisov at the Emirates.
Apollon Limassol vs Everton (6:00pm)
Everton are already eliminated and travel to Cyprus without new manager, Sam Allardyce.
The first meeting at Goodison Park in September ended 2-2 after Everton conceded a late goal to Hector Yuste Canton.
With Sunday’s Merseyside derby surely on everyone’s mind, expect the Toffees to field a weak team here.
Although it will be a tough game given Everton’s recent struggles, I expect them to just edge this by a goal.
Prediction: Apollon Limassol 0-1 Everton
Result: Apollon Limassol 0-3 Everton
Arsenal vs BATE Borisov (8:05pm)
Arsenal are already through but the remaining teams are all fighting for the last qualification spot.
Rather than risk BATE getting easy passage through if other game is a drawn, Arsene Wenger is putting out a experienced side.
Arsenal will be favourites at home but I expect BATE to push them hard with qualification on line.
In end, the Gunners should edge this.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 BATE Borisov
Result: Arsenal 6-0 BATE Borisov
