Arsenal travel to Belgium on Wednesday looking to maintain their flawless Champions League record.
Mikel Arteta’s side have won all five of their group games so far. However, they arrive on the back of a disappointing domestic defeat to Aston Villa. Therefore, the Gunners will be keen to bounce back immediately and secure their spot in the Round of 16.
The visitors boast the best defensive record in the competition this season. They have faced fewer shots on target than any other team. Despite a growing injury list, Arteta will expect his rotated squad to have too much quality for a Club Brugge side currently in turmoil. Gabriel Martinelli will be a key figure as he chases a personal goalscoring record.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta is managing a defensive crisis. Gabriel Magalhães and Cristhian Mosquera are out, while William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori are major doubts. Consequently, teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to start at left-back.
In midfield, rotation is likely, with Ethan Nwaneri and Christian Nørgaard pushing for starts. Up front, Viktor Gyökeres should lead the line, flanked by Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Martinelli has scored in his last four European games and will be looking to make it five in a row.
