Squawka

*Odds correct as of 15:45 on 10th October. 18+ only. GambleAware.

Arsenal started their Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against Atalanta, during which David Raya saved a penalty. Mikel Arteta’s team then followed up that opening draw with a convincing 2-0 win over PSG at home. The game was decided in the first half through Kai Havertz’s header and a free-kick from Bukayo Saka that beat Gianluigi Donnarumma. This result leaves the Gunners two points behind the leaders heading into the latest matchday. Shakhtar also began their European Cup season in Italy and managed to secure a point in their match against Bologna, which ended in a goalless draw. However, in their previous match against Atalanta from Serie A, they were defeated 3-0. This result means that they are one of 13 teams that have not won a match coming into matchday two.

Arsenal host Shakhtar at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday 22nd October at 8pm.
