Arsenal returns to Champions League action on Tuesday night, hosting Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s side enters this game after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth. However, they are still unbeaten in the European league, securing four points from their opening two matches, including a hard-fought draw against Atalanta and a 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
With a crucial league match against Liverpool ahead, Arsenal will aim to build momentum against a struggling Shakhtar side.
Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, has yet to find their footing in this year’s Champions League, sitting outside the top 24 in the league phase after two scoreless outings.
Marino Pusic’s men face a tough task at the Emirates against an Arsenal side determined to get back to winning ways.
