FC Porto and Arsenal face each other in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It is an Arsenal team full of confidence which is preparing to challenge FC Porto in the round of 16 of the Champions League. The Gunners remain on five consecutive successes with a total of 21 goals scored, including 11 in their last two outings.
Supported by an impressive offensive strike force and a well-oiled collective, the London club emerges as a credible outsider in this C1 table. But Mikel Arteta’s team will have to be wary of a Porto team that is still formidable at this stage of the competition. Experienced in European competitions, the Lusitanian team will be difficult to maneuver in their setting.

Port : Diogo Costa – João Mário, Fábio Cardoso, Pepe, Wendell – Alan Varela, Nico González – Galeno, Pepê, Francisco Conceição – Evanilson.
Arsenal : Raya – White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu – Odegaard, Rice, Jorginho – Saka, Havertz, Trossard.
