The heat has been turned up as Arsenal prepare for the next step on the road to the Champions League Final with a two-leg stand-off with Sporting Lisbon, beginning on Tuesday.
The Gunners have lost two in-a-row for the first time this season, and will need to rebound against a very good Portuguese club to keep their title dreams alive in this very important European competition.
On Monday, Mikel Arteta got a boast with Gabriel, Trossard and Rice all returning to the training ground preparing to play on Tuesday night in Lisbon.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI v Sporting Lisbon…
(4-3-3)
Trossard, Gyokeres, Madueke
Rice, Odegaard, Zubimendi
Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber
Raya
Predicted final score: Sporting Lisbon 1 – ARSENAL 2
VOYG!
