Europa League Last 16: Five Players to Watch | The Analyst (The Analyst)

Mark Flekken: Freiburg · Christopher Trimmel: Union Berlin · Lorenzo Pellegrini: Roma · Bruno Fernandes: Man Utd · Eddie Nketiah: Arsenal.

Only two players still in the competition – red-hot Marcus Rashford and Euro 2020-winning Roma striker Andrea Belotti – have accumulated more-penalty xG than Nketiah (3.15) – whose average of 0.55 per 90 is the third highest of any player with 450+ minutes. He’s scored nine goals in all competitions in 2022-23, seven of them in a stretch of seven games either side of the New Year. The Gunners have scored seven goals in their last two games without a recognised centre-forward from the start – but when it comes to the potentially tense crunch of knockout football, a natural marksman can make all the difference. Unsurprisingly given he’s on course to deliver Arsenal’s first league title in 19 years, Arteta has rotated heavily in the Europa League – but that has allowed Nketiah to very much take centre stage. And, encouragingly for Ten Hag and co, he’s got a 100% (nine of nine) career record from the spot in European competition. If Roma are to build on their triumph in the inaugural Europa Conference League last term and lift the Europa League for the very first time, the presence of Pellegrini will be pivotal. Since the start of November, Fernandes has racked up 18 goal contributions (seven goals, 11 assists) in 25 appearances in all competitions, playing a part in over a third of his side’s goals during that period. Usually deployed as one of two attacking midfielders in Mourinho’s 3-4-2-1 set-up, Pellegrini doesn’t shy away from what, by contrast to what he typically does with the ball at his feet, really is the ugly side of the game. Now in his ninth season at the club, the 25-cap Austrian international is as integral to the cause as ever, and recently signed a contract extension until the summer of 2024. When goals prevented is weighted for the number of shots on target – giving us goals prevented rate – the 29-year-old places joint second with De Gea and Olympiacos’ Alexandros Paschalakis (who only played 180 minutes to Flekken’s 450) on 1.9. They may have eased past Ajax 3-1 in the second leg of their knockout round play-off, but Union are hardly free-scoring (the first leg of that tie finished 0-0). Left out of the Netherlands’ 2022 World Cup squad, Mark Flekken has been at his best to keep the ball out for Freiburg this season.

Our domination of group-stage games with Omonia Nicosia and Sheriff Tiraspol, plus front-foot away showings in San Sebastian and Barcelona, mean we are by far and away the Europa League's premier passing side. De Gea has kept goal for every minute of our European campaign so far and his eight Europa League games have seen him register four clean sheets, which no other keeper in the competition can beat. Marcus also scored a brilliant individual goal in Barcelona which sees him sit level with Vitinha (Braga), Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco) and Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord) at the top of the Europa League charts – only Gimenez is still competing, as Braga and Monaco exited during the play-off stage.

Arsenal youngsters such as Reull Walters, Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand and Joel Ideho have now been included in their Europa League B-List squad.

Reull Walters, Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand and Joel Ideho must be clearly be in Mikel Arteta’s long-term plans as he has shown a pattern of being selective with which young players he gives a stage to shine on, as the trio have been included in their Europa League squad. Clearly, Mikel Arteta aims to continue building a youthful squad packed with superstars of tomorrow. As Arsenal have set their sights on potentially winning the Europa League in the same season as they could become Premier League champions, Reull Walters, Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand and Joel Ideho have been added to the B-list of their roster.

This is the club’s second appearance at the Round of 16 in Europe. The second leg in Turkey will be played on Wednesday 15 March instead of the Thursday. Currently boasting a 4-3-2 in their previous nine, this is the furthest the Polish side has ever gone in Europe. Losing just once in the group stage, they have a legitimate shot at moving on here. Surprising winners of Group G, the Turks have scored in all four away matches in Europe this season. Furthermore, the Spaniards have a much better European record of late, which will tip the tie in their favour for me. Given the fact that they are the underdogs in this tie, having a lack of competitive fixtures will likely do them in here. This is quite possibly the tie of the round. For the second year running, AZ will compete at this stage of the Conference League. They look more composed at this point of the season. They faltered at the hands of Porto in last year’s We have reached the last 16 of this season’s UEFA Europa Conference League.

Real Betis receive huge injury boost ahead of Manchester United ... (Manchester Evening News)

Real Betis will be boosted by the return of Sergio Canales for their Europa League clash at Manchester United, according to reports in Spain.

The 32-year-old had missed the last two games, with Pellegrini opting not to risk him in Sunday's game against Madrid, but a return to full training at the start of this week will be sufficient in booking his place on the flight to Manchester. They all want to play, and during the week, we work with different teams, there is no A or B team. [Erik ten Hag's](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) side collapsed in a humbling night at Anfield, conceding six goals in the second half, but can make use of the quick turnaround in fixtures to redeem themselves. Pellegrini will no doubt be minded to throw the former Spain international right back into the mix as he looks forward to facing an old rival in United. Los Verdiblancos topped their Europa League group before the winter break and have been in good form with three consecutive wins before Sunday's stalemate. [Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/betis/2023/03/06/6405cf2b46163fc78a8b45a7.html), the Sevilla-based side will be boosted by the return of veteran attacking midfielder Canales.

Europa League: Pellegrini's Betis in good hands against Man United (New Telegraph Newspaper)

Pellegrini and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti exchanged words after their sides shared a 0-0 draw on Sunday in LaLiga, joking about Liverpool's emphatic 7-0 ...

“For a long time this team has been (competitive), no matter who they are playing against. “Betis fans should be happy with the magnitude of the tie. After stints at Real Madrid – finishing second again in the league – and Malaga, Pellegrini took over at Man City, winning the Premier League in 2014, beating Liverpool to the title. Known as the “Engineer” because of the civil engineering degree he studied in Chile, Pellegrini impressed on Spain’s east coast between 2004-2009, driving his Juan Riquelme-inspired Villarreal to the Champions League semifinals in 2006 and finishing second in LaLiga in 2008. We have to do well at Old Trafford and keep our hopes high in the first leg to see if we can go through in the return.” “One of the important factors is playing the second game with the support of the fans and knowing what we have to do to eliminate our opponents.

The challenge is to introduce Alonso's possession game while keeping the pace in their play. Now comes a rematch with Union Saint-Gilloise, the resurgent Belgian team that remain the only opponent to beat them on their own ground so far this season. After scoring in the 3-2 defeat of Ludogorets in the group stage this term, he became the oldest player to achieve the feat in the history of the Europa League at 41 years and 56 days. Fischer should be up for world coach of the year. The old terraces are rocking in joy and disbelief at what Urs Fischer is serving up. Freiburg are into the last 16 of European competition for the first time. But the German side are fifth in their table while their illustrious opponents are eighth in theirs. Can they get to the World Cup top of the Premier League? The evergreen David Silva returned from injury with a cameo appearance against Cadiz at the weekend. The point has been made many times before that Arteta is a manager that doesn't rotate often. Belatedly, he has his chance to dance with the devils. It's not the kind of result you can just forget about or even move on from after a day or two of soul searching.

Shakhtar won both meetings between the two sides back in the Champions League in 2018/19. The Ukrainians will surely be up for it, as they certainly have the capability to go through. The last time they reached a quarterfinal in Europe was in the 1988/89 UEFA Cup. In some respects, Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord could be considered the tie of the round. United needs a response after the hiding they took on the weekend, while Betis is still chasing a top four spot in Spain. Los Verdiblancos are looking for their third European quarterfinal showing, the previous two coming in their sole UEFA Cup Winners Cup appearances. Conceding 12 in their last four games, there is not much hope for Sevilla here, despite loving to play in the Europa League.

The veteran coach has claimed victory in 14 of his 16 Europa League home matches and knows how to get the job done - with La Real's recent lack of goals also helping his cause. The two managers deploy very similar formations with an emphasis on remaining compact out of possession, so it may not be a match for the purists to savour.

Mourinho has enjoyed a long-standing love affair with European competition and his team look an attractive bet at better than even money to improve that win ratio even further. That said, it has to be more than a coincidence that Jose Mourinho has won 14 of the 16 Europa League home games in which he has been at the helm, with the two exceptions being the defeat against Betis from the group stage this season, and a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo in 2017 when he was Manchester United's manager. Moreover, the defeat against Cremonese came after the second leg of their Europa League tie against Salzburg, which they won 2-0 to overturn the 0-1 first-leg deficit.

Perhaps the most heart-breaking one came in the Champions League as despite beating AS Monaco 2-0 away from home, they crashed out at the last-16 stage by virtue of the Ligue 1 side scoring three times at the Emirates Stadium.

Real Betis is carrying a four-game unbeaten run from Spain's La Liga. Victories over Almeria, Real Valladolid, and Elche were followed by a goalless draw with ...

Manuel Pellegrini’s team will certainly be eyeing a top-four finish in La Liga for a Champions League spot, but their current placement will be good enough to send them through the Europa League. Luiz Henrique leads the squad with four goal contributions, while Juan Miranda has three combined goals and assists. This means that the Red Devils will hit the reset button and make another impressive outing against another Spanish team here in the Europa League. In that stretch of games, they overcame Almeria, Real Valladolid, and Elche. Real Betis managed to survive the performance of Los Blancos, despite the Vikings posting a 62% ball possession rate and having a 15-8 edge on total shots. Mo Salah was then crowned as Liverpool’s franchise leader in goals scored in the Prem, and Liverpool recorded their biggest win against United. For Man U’s third game this March, Ten Hag will try to survive this one without some familiar faces in his rotation. Rashford and Antony will join Jadon Sancho in front. Man U faced a tough Barcelona squad in the knockout stage but they managed to pull off a 2-1 victory at home. [Manchester United](/tag/manchester-united) will lock horns with Spanish squad Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League! After a tight 1-0 lead by Liverpool at the end of the first half, the Reds tightened their laces and marched towards a 60% ball possession in the second half, making six goals. Real Betis topped Group C, going ahead of Roma, Ludogrets, and HJK.

In midfield, it seems key that Fernandes is relocated to attacking midfield again, the position where he is most effective. Weghorst would never have expected to start 13 games in a row when he signed and now is the time to take him out of the firing line. Ten Hag's problem is that he simply doesn't have the depth to do the latter. Changes have to be made after the debacle at Anfield but they are unlikely to be as long-term as after the defeats to Brentford and City. With Sabitzer sidelined there is little option in midfield, with Casemiro, Fred and Fernandes asked to go again. Ten Hag should stick by the midfield duo after Sunday’s aberration but the Weghorst experiment has to end after one goal in 14 games.

Manchester United welcome La Liga side Real Betis to Old Trafford in midweek in their Europa League Round of 16 first leg.

It remains to be seen whether Wout Weghorst will lead the attack or be deployed in a deeper role, which could see Marcus Rashford as the No. There are also some concerns about the fitness of Raphael Varane, meaning Harry Maguire could be in line to start, with Victor Lindelof struggling recently with a minor injury. Ten Hag has opted to shuffle his options in European games this season, and a refreshed Sancho could be a strong option in this fixture, after missing out against Liverpool. Marcel Sabitzer is also not available. [DAZN](https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfPvV) [Stan Sport](http://bit.ly/3HvNyms) [DAZN](http://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfPvV) in Canada.
