PSV vs Arsenal: Early kick-off time, prediction, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - preview today

Today’s early evening kick-off sees PSV Eindhoven host Arsenal, with the Gunners a point away from topping Group A.

A perfect record from their four Europa League matches to date means that the Gunners are on the verge of sealing their place in the last 16, and in doing so avoiding a play-off tie against one of the sides dropping down from the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta’s side edged past PSV at the Emirates thanks to a second-half strike from Granit Xhaka, giving them a five-point advantage over the Dutch side.

It means Ruud van Nistelrooy and his team know nothing but a win will do if they want to take the fight for top spot to the final round of group-stage matches.

Here are all the details ahead of the game..

Date, kick-off time and venue

The Europa League group-stage game is scheduled for 5.45pm BST kick-off time today, Thursday, October 27, 2022.

The Philips Stadion in Eindhoven will host the match.

PSV vs Arsenal team news

Noni Madueke is in contention to start, with his appearance off the bench in north London his first appearance of the season after battling a serious injury.

Luuk de Jong was also brought on and will hope for a more significant role, while highly-rated Cody Gakpo, who has been linked with Arsenal, will need to deliver for PSV if they are to get the three points they require.

Arteta is likely to name a strong side as he looks to turn next week’s match at home to Zurich into a dead-rubber, particularly with it coming just a few days before a trip to Stamford Bridge.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny remain long-term absentees while Marquinhos has been ruled out through illness.

Eddie Nketiah, Matt Turner and Albert Sambi Lokonga should start again, with Arteta also set to once again call on the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Granit Xhaka.

PSV vs Arsenal prediction

It should be an entertaining clash, with PSV having to throw everything at Arsenal, and in front of their home support they should produce a more ambitious display than they did at the Emirates.

With the Gunners not at their free-flowing best in recent matches and signs of fatigue starting to appear, the visitors may settle for the point they need.

Draw, 1-1.
