Gunners looking to secure top spot in Champions League

Arsenal have top spot in their sights as they conclude the league phase of the Champions League at home to Kairat.

A commanding win at Inter Milan last week secured a top-two finish for the Gunners, which means the second legs in their knockout matches will be at home.

But the Gunners will be gunning for victory after seeing their unbeaten home run this season end on Sunday against Manchester United.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Kairat is scheduled for a 8pm GMT kick-off today, Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

Arsenal vs Kairat team news

Mikel Arteta will again ring the changes in Europe for what is essentially a dead-rubber game.

The likes of Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, Cristhian Mosquera and Myles Lewis-Skelly should all come into the starting lineup after limited or zero minutes against Manchester United.

That should see Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus drop out. Riccardo Calafiori and Kai Havertz hope to be in contention, but William Saliba and Jurrien Timber are now out while Max Dowman is sidelined.

Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are unavailable through suspension, while Christian Norgaard is a booking away from missing the round of 16 first leg.

Kairat hope to have Chelsea-bound 17-year-old Dastan Satpaev available after he missed the loss to Club Brugge through injury.

Arsenal vs Kairat prediction

Arsenal should make light work of Kairat, who have one point to their name after seven league phase games to sit rock bottom of the table.

This is an opportunity for those who are struggling for minutes to make a case to Mikel Arteta amid an uneven run of form for the Gunners, namely £65million midfielder Eberechi Eze.

It is a match up between the so-called the best in Europe versus the worst in the Champions League, and the scoreline should reflect that.

Arsenal to win, 4-0.
