Arsenal vs Porto lineups, team news
Arteta will recall David Raya to the starting XI with the Spanish goalkeeper ineligible to face his parent club in the 2-1 Premier League weekend win over Brentford.
Gabriel Martinelli hasn’t shaken off a foot injury, and fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus should start, as Arteta chases goals.
Arsenal (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior — Odegaard, Rice, Havertz — Saka, Jesus, Trossard.
Arsenal subs (9): TBC
Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao is likely to still be without key striker Mehdi Taremi due to a thigh strain. No fresh injuries could mean an unchanged starting line up from the first leg.
Porto (4-2-3-1 right to left): Costa (GK) — Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell — Valera, Gonzalez — Conceicao, Pepe, Galeno — Evanilson.
Porto subs (9): TBC
Arsenal vs Porto prediction
The task at hand for Arsenal is straightforward as they need to win to progress after slipping up in Portugal last month.
Arteta’s charges look energised for the campaign run in, across all competitions, and a quarterfinal-securing victory would set them up for a huge trip to Manchester City on March 31.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Porto
