🚨Confirmed XIs: Arsenal make the first move in Lisbon | OneFootball

Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal kick off the Champions League quarter-finals this Tuesday, April 7, in a setting that promises high drama. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners arrive in Portugal as favorites and with the urgency to bounce back after their recent eliminations from the domestic cups. Top of the Premier League, they will look to repeat the emphatic 5-1 win they recorded on their last visit to Lisbon to put the tie firmly on track.

The Portuguese side, boosted by a 4-2 win over Santa Clara, will rely on the security of Rui Silva and the goalscoring instinct of Colombian forward Luis Suárez. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be without the important presence of Piero Hincapié and will count on Declan Rice’s control and the threat of Viktor Gyökeres, who knows Portuguese football well. It will be a clash of styles in which Sporting will try to contain the London side’s attacking efficiency.
