| Manchester United and Arsenal face tough away trips in the final round of Champions League games |
STEVEN GERRARD believes Manchester United and Arsenal are both at high risk of dropping into the Europa League.
Arsenal have to beat Olympiakos by two clear goals in their trip to Greece if they are to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.
And United also face a difficult finnal round of games away visit to Wolfsburg.
Having failed to beat PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night and secure their place, United must now beat the German outfit in two weeks' time to book their spot in the next round.
If United draw, they can only finish second, but they will also be relying on PSV failing to beat CSKA Moscow.
Wolfsburg have lost none of their last 29 home Bundesliga matches and Gerrard thinks that will be a difficult prospect for Louis van Gaal's side to overcome.
"Well I think Manchester United have got a very tough game going away to Wolfsburg as they've got a fantastic home record," Gerrard said on BT Sport.

"Arsenal, as well, going over to Greece and having to score a couple and win by a couple against Olympiakos is a big ask as well.
"So you'd probably say they're the two favourites to fall into this competition [Europa League] but we'll have to wait and see."
