Arsenal return to European action as they prepare to face Sporting CP in Portugal in the Europa League round of 16 first leg. Mikel Arteta's side go to Estadio Jose Alvalade looking to maintain their unbeaten run against Portuguese opposition in UEFA's second-tier competition.
The Gunners go into this match as the favourites at 23/20 with Betfred while hosts Sporting are 13/5 and a draw is 11/5. This will be the fifth meeting between the two sides with Arsenal yet to lose or concede a goal in the previous four meetings about it.
Rotation will be key for Arteta as they look to maintain their Premier League title race too but expect a few familiar faces to feature including Gabriel Martinelli who has been impressive in Europa League nights and is 5/2 to score anytime.
Meanwhile, Sporting have progressed from each of their previous six ties against English sides in the knockout stages of the Europa League or UEFA Cup - all coming from six different teams.
