UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Arsenal Vs Sporting CP team News and predicted lineups

 Mikel Arteta's side - boosted by the return of key players - will hope to bounce back from defeat to Internazionale. Sporting are in European action for the first time since former boss Ruben Amorim led them to a shock 4-1 victory over Manchester City.

Arsenal travel to Sporting CP next in the UEFA Champions League as they look to redeem themselves following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Internazionale.

The Gunners suffered their first loss and conceded their first goal of the 2024/25 European campaign last time out and are currently sitting 12th in the league phase.

Meanwhile, unbeaten Sporting are in fine form and only Liverpool have bettered their record so far in the Champions League this season.

Victories over Lille, Sturm Graz and Viktor Gyokeres's hat-trick in a stunning 4-1 thumping of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have helped them earn a spot in second place after four games.

But how will the Liga Portugal side fare without Ruben Amorim? He left the club after Sporting's famous victory against Man City, to join Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Joao Pereira will lock horns with Mikel Arteta in the dugout at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, where Arsenal remain unbeaten in their two visits since 2018.

WHEN IS SPORTING CP V ARSENAL?

Sporting CP host Arsenal at the Estadio Jose Alvade in the Champions League group phase on Tuesday, November 26.

Kick-off is at 20:00 UK time, with live coverage on TNT Sports 1 and discovery+ beginning at 19:00.
