Arsenal landing tricky clash against Benfica

Arsenal potentially face a nightmare draw against Benfica in the Europa League last-32 stage.

Despite disappointing in the Premier League, the Gunners have been faultless in the second-string European competition this season.

The North Londoners are the only side in Europe this term to win every group match following their 4-2 victory against Dundalk on Thursday.

But they may be made to pay for their superb results as they could be pitted against arguably the toughest opponents on offer.

Benfica finished second behind Rangers in Group D, and they are the club British sides are keen to avoid.

But in a SunSport mock last-32 draw, it was Arsenal that drew the Portuguese giants.

Gunners fans will be thankful they avoided bogey team Olympiacos, but the possible tie poses the risk of again crashing out in the first knockout round.

Manchester United have also been handed a tricky draw after dropping down into the Europa League.

The simulator predicted them to come up against Chelsea’s Champions League Group E opponents Krasnodar.

And the Russian outfit have proved to be a tough team having held the Blues to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
