It’s been a near-perfect start for Group B leaders Arsenal who head into matchday five sitting on nine points and four ahead of PSV who sit in second place. Mikel Arteta’s side’s only setback was a loss at Lens last month. That win gives the French side confidence when they visit Britain’s capital. “We are Lens, we have experience in the Champions League,” said head coach Franck Haise. “We still have two more matches to play, and we know what we need to do. We know how to handle that pressure.”
