Arsenal face PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tonight with a huge advantage.
The North Londoners are 7-1 ahead on aggregate after a record-breaking night in Eindhoven last week. Barring the unlikeliest comeback in Champions League history, Arsenal will take their place in the quarter-finals for a second successive season.
Europe offers the best opportunity of a historic season for Arsenal. Three games without a win in the Premier League have seen the Gunners drop 15 points behind Liverpool in the title race. However, Arsenal have impressed in Europe a and ending the club’s wait for a maiden Champions League crown would silence Mikel Arteta’s doubters.
PSV bounced back from last week’s humbling defeat with a 2-1 victory over Heerenveen at the weekend. The Dutch champions have endured a dip domestically and are eight points behind Ajax in the title race.
Mikel Arteta could ring the changes ahead of a crucial clash with Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend. Fringe names including Raheem Sterling, Kieran Tierney and Jakub Kiwior will all hope for minutes after limited involvement for much of the campaign.
Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Martinelli are each one caution away from a ban, so it remains to be seen whether Arsenal risk involvement for either this evening.
The Gunners remain without Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Bukayo Saka, though the latter is edging closer to a return.
Arsenal predicted XI: Neto; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Jorginho, Zinchenko; Sterling, Tierney, Trossard.
Arsenal host PSV in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday 12th March 2025.
This match will be shown live on TNT Sports 2 in the UK.
