The Gunners suffered a 1-0 defeat during the first leg of the round of 16 tie on the road. They will be looking to overturn the deficit with home advantage.

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has been Arsenal 's regular in goal. He should return between the sticks ahead of Aaron Ramsdale after missing the Brentford game where he was ineligible to face his parent club.

There could be a solitary change to the backline with Oleksandr Zinchenko coming in for Jakub Kiwior in the left-back position. Zinchenko could play in an inverted role to try and outwit Porto's stubborn defence.

No changes are on the cards in midfield. Jorginho should partner Declan Rice in the centre of the park. The Italian's presence should ease the pressure on the latter, who will have more luxury to press forward.

In the attack, Bukayo Saka , Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz should be nailed-on starters. The only change could be on the left wing with Gabriel Jesus coming in for Leandro Trossard . Gabriel Martinelli is injured.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Porto: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Jesus; Havertz.
