How both teams go into Sporting CP vs Arsenal
As mentioned, Sporting are enjoying a stunning run of form right now, but their most impressive result by far was the 4-1 demolition of Manchester City. Yes, City missed some chances and Sporting rode their luck. However, the Portuguese champions proved just how clinical they can be, netting four times from just nine shots and generating six big chances. Of course, Sporting must now cope without manager Ruben Amorim, who has joined Manchester City.
Arsenal’s form is in sharp contrast, losing 1-0 to Inter in their last Champions League match, while Shakhtar Donetsk, Nottingham Forest and Preston North End are the only sides they’ve beaten in their last eight across all competitions. The Gunners have been suffering with injuries during that time, so Mikel Arteta will hope the international break serves to recharge some of his most important pieces.
