Sporting CP vs Arsenal LIVE!

Arsenal return to Champions League action tonight hoping to end their long away day hoodoo on the continent under Mikel Arteta. It is more than a year now since the Gunners last won on their travels in Europe’s elite club competition, winning only one of their last seven and none of the last five, finding goals very hard to come by during that stretch.

Halting such a run this evening would offer a huge boost to their chances of finishing in the top eight of the new league phase and securing direct qualification for the last 16 without the need for a nervy two-legged play-off tie in the New Year. But they could have their work cut out at the Estadio Jose Alvalade against an in-form Sporting team who are unbeaten in Europe so far this season and stunned Manchester City 4-1 at home earlier this month.

The reigning Portuguese champions don’t look to have been adversely impacted by the exit of head coach Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, with successor Joao Pereira delivering a 6-0 triumph in his first game in charge with rumoured Arsenal transfer target Viktor Gyokeres once again among the goals.
