Arsenal are preparing to return to Champions League action on Tuesday night as they host Atletico Madrid for what should be an intriguing clash at the Emirates Stadium.
BUY ARSENAL VS. ATLETICO MADRID TICKETS
This is the second season of the new league phase of the Champions League, which replaced the old group stage format, and it’s thrown together some interesting ties.
Arsenal against Atletico Madrid, for instance, is not a game we’ve seen that often, so fans will surely be eager to get to the Emirates and witness this big occasion live.
The Gunners have started well in the Champions League this season, winning each of their first two games, but what can we expect from this challenging test?

Arsenal have had a bit of a nightmare with injuries again so far this season, with key players like Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Ben White set to be out for this upcoming match, and probably quite a few more in the foreseeable future.
There’s more positive news elsewhere in the squad, though, as the likes of Bukayo Saka and William Saliba are available again, while Piero Hincapie has also recovered from an early niggle.
So apart from that, it’s just about how much we see Mikel Arteta rotate his side, which he’s done quite a lot so far this season due to his bigger squad. Still, this big game calls for as strong a line-up as possible, so perhaps something like this…
Arsenal predicted line-up: Raya; Timber, Calafiori, Saliba, Gabriel; Zubimendi, Rice, Eze; Saka, Martinelli, Gyokeres
Atletico don’t have too many injury concerns at the moment, so Diego Simeone can put out what will surely be his first-choice XI in the bid to pick up some important points.
Julian Alvarez will be the danger man up front after a superb start to the season, but other big names like Antoine Griezmann and Conor Gallagher aren’t guaranteed to start.
We expect a line up something like this…
Atletico Madrid predicted line up: Oblak; Llorente, Hancko, Le Normand, Lenglet; Koke, Barrios, Simeone, Gonzalez; Alvarez, Sorloth.

Arsenal’s official ticketing page can be found by clicking the link here, but it’s important to be aware that this is not the only way to get to games, and some alternatives might give you a better chance.
Fans will likely be aware of Atletico Madrid’s official ticket page here, but again we’d highly recommend an alternative to dealing directly with the club, which can drive up prices and waiting times.
This will be only the third ever competitive game between these two clubs, with Arsenal searching for a first victory!
You may recall that Arsenal met Atletico back in the Europa League semi-finals in Arsene Wenger’s last season in charge, with the first leg finishing 1-1 at at the Emirates before a 1-0 second leg defeat in Spain.
Atletico went on to win the Europa League that season, and Arsenal will now be desperate for revenge as they look to establish themselves as a club that can now realistically dream of winning the Champions League.
