Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-1
PSV
Arsenal will look to book their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals in style when they face PSV at their Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. The Gunners rolled over PSV 7-1 at Philips Stadion, but they surely want to record yet another triumph over the Eredivisie champions. Even though Mikel Arteta is expected to shuffle his pack, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise.
The good news for the hosts is that Gabriel Martinelli has overcome his injury, but fellow attackers Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka remain in the treatment room. Peter Bosz’s men, on the other hand, face yet another uphill task in London and given their difficulties at the back, we predict that Arsenal will emerge triumphant in the second leg. All Fofana, Pepi, and Bajraktarevic are sidelined with injuries, while duo Kuhn – Tillman is rated doubtful for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
