Arsenal return to Champions League action as they host Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The Gunners continued their winning form with a 1-0 victory at Fulham last time out with Leandro Trossard netting the only goal when he met Gabriel’s flick-on from a corner. Mikel Arteta’s side were also successful in their most recent European outing, defeating Olympiacos 2-0.
Atlético secured a narrow win in their previous game, beating Osasuna 1-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium. Thiago Almada netted the winner to send the Rojiblancos fourth in La Liga. After falling to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, Diego Simeone oversaw a dominant 5-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in their latest continental game.
Both sides will be hoping to replicate their weekend triumphs as they look to build on their recent form on the European stage. Arsenal have the opportunity to make it three wins from three while Atleti could break into the top eight with a win.

Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid: Preview, Prediction & Lineups
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta will be thankful his side came out of the win at Fulham unscathed with the same players set to be available once again. However, he could look to make a few changes to the team that took three points from Craven Cottage.
Both Declan Rice and Martín Zubimendi are one booking away from suspension so this could be something he keeps in mind when selecting the XI while he may also look to give chances to his backup options.
Myles Lewis-Skelly could replace Riccardo Calafiori at left back while Gabriel Martinelli might come in for Leandro Trossard on the flank.
Despite these potential rotations, Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard won’t be involved as they remain long-term absentees for Arsenal.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Atlético Madrid: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Eze, Merino Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli
