Apollon Limassol v Everton (18:00 KO)
Everton’s Europa League misery looks set to continue in Cyprus.
Manager Sam Allardyce is reportedly set to miss the game to prepare properly for Sunday’s derby game with Liverpool.

If the visitors are to collect three points, they’ll be relying on the youngsters to do the business.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is 2/1 to score Anytime, although we like the look of Ademola Lookman at 13/5.
The 20-year-old has looked dangerous in him limited appearances so far and looks set to start in Cyprus.
Arsenal v BATE Borisov (20:05 KO)
The Gunners are unbeaten at home in the Europa League and should continue that run against BATE.

In the reverse fixture in Belarus, there were plenty of goals as Arsenal rode out 4-2 winners.
We’re expecting fireworks again at the Emirates, which makes Both Teams to Score at 4/6 the one to be on.
You can double up on that market and get 7/4 about Arsenal to Win and Both Teams to Score.
And with progression already assured, Wenger could decide to change things up.
That could mean some more game time for Eddie Nketiah.
The youngster bagged a brace against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup and is 23/20 to score anytime against BATE.
