Arsenal welcome Atletico Madrid to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of their Champions League<\/a> semi-final clash on Tuesday at 8pm (UK time).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gunners will fancy their chances of reaching a second ever Champions League final having claimed a 1-1 draw in Madrid last week. However, Atletico Madrid won’t be mere pushovers in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal (4-3-3): <\/strong>Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikel Arteta’s side are back on track having followed up their recent 1-0 win over Newcastle and 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid with a 3-0 win over Fulham on Saturday afternoon. The north London side will hope for a repeat of their last home meeting with Atleti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier League outfit ran out 4-0 winners over the La Liga giants back in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal team news vs Atletico Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bukayo Saka made his first competitive start since the EFL Cup final in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Fulham. The winger was withdrawn at the break but impressed upon his return to the starting XI, following up his early assist for Viktor Gyokeres with a goal of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard played no part against Fulham. However, there is hope the duo may return to first-team action here. Martin Zubimendi is expected to reclaim his starting midfield spot at Myles Lewis-Skelly’s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the former duo fail to recover here, then expect Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze to feature in attack and midfield, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n
