Lyon v Manchester United – Thursday, 8pm

• Lyon’s return to the UEFA Europa League has been impressive, Les Gones have lost just one of their ten games so far in this campaign (1-0 v Besiktas).
• Paulo Fonseca made the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons, the Lyon boss is currently serving a nine month ban following an altercation with a referee in Ligue 1, although that doesn’t seem to be having much of an impact on his side.
• Lyon climbed into the top five of Ligue 1 following a 2-1 victory against Lille and now just four points off Marseille in second, their UCL dreams for next season are still alive. However, it’s worth noting that Lyon haven’t got the greatest record on home soil against English sides. (W3, D7, L2).
  ——————————–
• Manchester United head to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais relying on success in this competition to secure their place in next seasons UEFA Champions League, it’s now their only route given they remain thirteenth in the Premier League.
• Ruben Amorim’s side played their part in a very poor Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon but a goalless draw isn’t the worst result for the Red Devils considering where the club is at right now, they’ll take a little bit of confidence from the fact they’ve never lost a game against Lyon.
• This is the first competitive meeting between these two sides since 2008 when they met in the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen, with United going on to win the competition in Moscow.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Draw, Lyon 1-1 Manchester United.
