Arsenal are all but assured of a Champions League quarter-final place as they welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Emirates Stadium with a 7-1 first-leg advantage.
Their Premier League scoring woes may have continued on a frustrating afternoon against Manchester United but Mikel Arteta’s men showcased their attacking potential with a thrashing of the hosts in the Netherlands last week.
It leaves little suspense ahead of the second half of the tie, with PSV simply hoping to restore a degree of respectability and Arsenal perhaps taking an opportunity to rotate their side.
The winner of this tie will face either Real or Atletico Madrid in the last eight, with the derby between the Spanish capital clubs rather more fascinatingly poised.
Here’s everything you need to know:
