Match announcement

Arsenal

Arsenal provided a strong offensive display in the first leg and deserved a victory, but earned only a draw (2:2). Mikel Arteta's team was unlucky on finishing, plus Sporting's goalie had a fantastic game. The Gunners will surely to get a better result in the reverse fixture, they are trying to get as far as possible in the Europa League. 

Things are going great for the Londoners in English Premier League, team secured five victories in a row. Club is still at the top of the standings, five points clear of Manchester City. Hosts secured a victory over Fulham (0:3) in the most recent game. 

Sporting CP

Sporting tried to keep up with the offensive pace of the English side and eventually hold out for a draw. That result leaves Ruben Amorim's men with a slight chance for a quarter-final, but it will be incredibly hard to beat such a strong opponent on away. 

The Lions are currently at the 4th position in Primeira, five points away from the Champions League zone after a victory over Boavista (3:0). Two key players, Sebastian Coates and Hidemasa Morita, are suspended for the upcoming game.
