Arsenal host Lille at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, October 13 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
No fresh fitness concerns for either side heading into this one, with Arsenal expected to call on Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyökeres, Declan Rice, Benjamin White and Eberechi Eze in support of Christos Tzolis, while Lille should field Ayase Ueda and Alexsandro alongside Gaëtan Perrin, Hákon Haraldsson, Nabil Bentaleb and Tiago Santos.
Arsenal have taken maximum points from their opening game and kept a clean sheet away at Napoli, a platform that points toward a controlled night at the Emirates rather than an end-to-end shootout. Lille shipped three goals at home to Real Betis and arrive in London still searching for their first points, and with the picks here lined up around a tight scoreline, this reads like a game Arsenal manage carefully rather than chase with numbers forward.

Arsenal vs Lille Prediction
Arsenal’s 3 points and +1 goal difference from a clean-sheet win set them up well at home, and Lille’s 0 points and -1 goal difference after the Betis defeat make for a difficult night at the Emirates. With Under 2.5 the shape of this game and Lille unlikely to find the net, Arsenal win 2-0.
