Champions League: Arsenal by PSV Eindhoven


Match preview for Arsenal V PSV

PSV travels to Arsenal on Wednesday looking for more than a miracle in the Champions League.

Gunners killed the Dutch in the last-16 opponents 7-1 in the first leg away from home, a few days before planning Manchester United in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta’s men were ruthless in attack, even if they had some lucky getaways at the back.

PSV hit the wood in the race and the discussions hit if Myles Lewis-Skelly should have seen the third red card of the season at Eindhoven.

However, Arsenal is the first team in the history of the Champions League to score seven goals away from home in the knockout rounds of the competition.

It means that the atmosphere inside the Emirates stadium will be completely relaxed for the second leg, with Arteta certainly capable of using some players in the team and saving their legs for the quarter -finals.

They will face either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid in the next round, a discouraging work.

But there is a record that could break on Wednesday night. Arsenal has to score three goals to make only the second English team to score 10 goals in a two -foot Champions League draw.

PSV fans will still flock to London in large numbers, a proof of their support and their faith in the club.

But waiting for a first fourth appearance since 2007 will continue.
