First-Leg Result

Arsenal carry a commanding lead from the first leg. The Gunners won 7-1 at PSV’s ground last week, a stunning away victory that all but sealed their quarter-final spot. Mikel Arteta’s side were ruthless in Eindhoven – scoring seven goals from eight shots on target, the first team ever to net seven away in a Champions League knockout match. PSV Eindhoven now face a virtually impossible task in the return: no team has ever overturned a six-goal deficit in UCL history (they would need to win by seven goals at Emirates to advance outright).

Team News and Injury Updates

Arsenal: The hosts have a few key players still sidelined. Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Gabriel Jesus (knee), Kai Havertz (hamstring), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) all remain out injured. On the plus side, winger Gabriel Martinelli is back in the squad – he returned from his hamstring injury as a sub in the weekend draw with Man United – but with such a large aggregate lead, Arteta may not rush him into the starting XI. Defender Ben White is in line to make his first start in months after recovering from injury. With one eye on an upcoming Premier League clash vs Chelsea, Arteta is expected to rotate his lineup heavily, possibly giving fringe players like Raheem Sterling a rare start.

PSV: Coach Peter Bosz also has some absentees. American midfielder Malik Tillman (leg injury), young winger Esmir Bajraktarević (injury), and striker Ricardo Pepi (knee) are unavailable for the Dutch side. Additionally, former Arsenal forward Lucas Pérez is ineligible for the Champions League and cannot feature. On the bright side for PSV, full-back Sergiño Dest has made his return from a serious knee injury – he played in the league win over Heerenveen last weekend and is available for selection again. PSV have no new injuries from their domestic match, so Bosz is expected to field a full-strength lineup of the players at his disposal.

Probable Lineups

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Martin Ødegaard, Jorginho, Declan Rice; Raheem Sterling, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard.
– With the tie nearly secured, Arteta’s XI could see backup goalkeeper Karl Hein (“Neto” in some reports) or others, but reports suggest he will still start a strong midfield including Rice and Ødegaard alongside Jorginho. The teenage talents Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are likely on the bench.

PSV (4-3-3): Walter Benítez; Álvaro Ledezma, Ryan Flamingo, Olivier Boscagli, Mauro Júnior; Ibrahim Saibari, Guus Til, Ibrahim Sangaré (or Schouten); Ivan Perišić, Luuk de Jong, Noa Lang.
– PSV’s lineup is expected to be their strongest available. Captain Luuk de Jong will lead the attack, with experienced winger Ivan Perišić (a winter signing) and Noa Lang on the flanks. Midfield could see Joey Veerman or Andre Ramalho in contention as well, but the above XI is a likely outline.

Match Preview: One Foot in the Quarter-Finals

Arsenal come into this second leg with “one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals” after the demolition job in Eindhoven. Barring “the shock of all shocks,” the return leg is expected to be a formality for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta has emphasized guarding against complacency, but history and logic are firmly on Arsenal’s side – no team has ever overcome more than a two-goal away deficit in the Champions League knockout rounds, so PSV would need a miracle of unprecedented proportions to turn this around.

PSV, for their part, will be playing for pride and a respectable result. Bosz’s men were humbled at home but managed to bounce back with a 2-1 win in the Eredivisie over the weekend. They have “nothing to lose” now, so we may see the Dutch side come out with an attacking mindset or conversely sit deep to avoid another rout. In the first leg, PSV did create some chances (hitting the woodwork once), so they will hope to be more clinical and at least “give a better account of themselves” in London.

For Arsenal, even a rotated lineup should have enough quality to finish the job. The Gunners have struggled against deep-defending teams in recent weeks domestically, but in Europe, they have been scoring freely. In fact, Arsenal seem to save their best attacking form for Champions League nights. Playing at home, they will be motivated to deliver a professional performance and officially book their quarter-final spot (where either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid await).

Who is favored to win? Unsurprisingly, Arsenal are heavy favorites to win this match and advance. Bookmakers peg Arsenal around 2/5 odds to win on the night, whereas a PSV upset is a long 13/2 shot. The Evening Standard predicts a 2-0 home win for Arsenal in this second leg, noting that another seven-goal explosion is unlikely but Arsenal should still “claim victory” with relative ease. Expect Arsenal to progress comfortably, while PSV will try to restore some pride at the Emirates.
