Arsenal vs Sporting CP â Match preview and team news
Arsenal host Sporting CP on Wednesday, aiming to reach the Champions League semi-finals for a second consecutive season.
The Gunners hold a slender 1â0 advantage following their quarter-final first leg in Lisbon. Kai Havertz settled that cagey affair with a clinical 91st-minute winner. However, Mikel Artetaâs side enters this return fixture following a disappointing domestic weekend.
A 2â1 loss to Bournemouth has significantly damaged their Premier League title aspirations.
Sporting CP, meanwhile travel to North London with hopes of a historic comeback. The Lions have never reached the semi-finals of this prestigious competition. Rui Borgesâ men kept pace at the top of the Primeira Liga with a weekend win.
They also famously eliminated Arsenal on penalties at this stadium three years ago. Sporting must now end a ten-game winless run in England to progress.
Mikel Arteta faces a selection headache with several key performers listed as major doubts. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Martin Ădegaard are all facing late fitness assessments. Riccardo Calafiori and JurriĂ«n Timber also remain touch and go for the match. Specifically, Mikel Merino is definitely ruled out with a foot injury. Eberechi Eze and Piero HincapiĂ© have returned to full fitness sooner than expected.
The visitors welcome back captain Morten Hjulmand after he served a one-match suspension. Luis SuĂĄrez is also available after an administrative error regarding his yellow cards was cleared. However, Nuno Santos remains sidelined with a hamstring issue. LuĂs Guilherme and Fotis Ioannidis are also ruled out through injury. Sporting need an error-free performance to overturn the one-goal deficit.
Arsenal have struggled for domestic consistency during the early stages of 2026. They have suffered three defeats in their last four competitive matches. Despite this, the Gunners remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season. They have also kept 16 clean sheets in their last 22 European home games.
Sporting arrive in London following three consecutive victories in the Primeira Liga. They trail leaders Porto by five points with a game in hand. Rui Borgesâ side famously recovered from 3â0 down to reach this stage. Nevertheless, they have not won a Champions League knockout away game since 1970.
Arsenal Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapié; NÞrgaard, Rice; Madueke, Eze, Trossard; Gyökeres
Sporting CP Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Silva; Vagiannidis, Diomande, InĂĄcio, AraĂșjo; Bragança, Hjulmand; Catamo, TrincĂŁo, Gonçalves; SuĂĄrez
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1. Coverage begins at 18:30 BST.
