The Gunners must win by a clear two-goal margin or score four times to secure their progression through to the last 16

Arsenal have been training ahead of their do-or-die Champions League clash at Olympiacos tomorrow.

Having lost the home tie against the Greek outfit 3-2, the Gunners need to win to draw level on points with their opponents in second place.

However, a one-goal margin will not be enough, unless they score three times, given Olympiacos' three strikes at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger cast a watchful eye over his injury hit squad as they prepared for the match earlier today, looking to maintain their 12-year record of qualifying for the knockout stages.

They will be without stars such as Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla tomorrow evening, but German playmaker Mesut Ozil is available and is in line to start.

Wenger admitted he would like to give him a rest, but knows he cannot afford to, and the World Cup winner has called for focus among his teammates.

Ozil said: “We have to be focused on the game, we have to give a really good performance.

"If we score an early goal, I’m confident that we can win this game and go through. I hope that I can help the team with a good performance on the night.

“We know that we have a lot of quality up front, but our goal is to go into half-time ahead and then we will know that everything is possible. We have to also be careful in defence that we don’t concede a goal.”
