Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits revenge is on their mind facing Europa League opponents Olympiacos tomorrow night.

Olympiacos stunned Arsenal in last season's last-32, with a 119th-minute extra-time winner earning them victory on away goals.

Ahead of the first leg of Arsenal's reunion with Olympiacos, Arteta said: "It was a really tough one to swallow.

"The way it happened in the end was really cruel after everything we did in the two games to lose the way we did, in terms of the last chance that Auba had but we moved on.

"Obviously we have some feelings towards that team and we want to put it right in the next round obviously.

"I think we are a better team than last year. Looking back at the two games we played and the way we are playing now I think we have come a long way.

"They have some different players as well but a similar structure to last year. They have been doing really well. They played in the Champions League.

"They got knocked out of the Champions League, played against Manchester City, two really good games as well so they will be a really tough opponent."
