Arsenal heads into this clash with renewed confidence following a series of impressive domestic victories. Despite their setback against Porto, Mikel Arteta's side has bounced back with three consecutive wins in the Premier League, reclaiming their position at the top of the table. However, injuries to key players like Gabriel Martinelli and Takehiro Tomiyasu present a challenge for the Gunners as they seek to overturn the deficit.

On the other hand, Porto arrives at the Emirates Stadium buoyed by a string of positive results in the Primeira Liga. Sergio Conceicao's men are flying high after a commanding win over Benfica and will be eager to carry that momentum into their clash with Arsenal. With star striker Mehdi Taremi expected to return from injury, Porto boasts a formidable lineup capable of causing problems for the Gunners' defense.
