Arsenal will return to Champions League action just days after playing out a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the weekend.
The Gunners will welcome Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven to the Emirates Stadium for the second-leg of their last-16 tie.
Match Preview
Arsenal were at their destructive best last week as they demolished PSV 7-1 in their own backyard.
Mikel Arteta’s men made a blistering start as Jurrien Timber and Ethan Nwaneri struck a quick-fire double around the 20th minute.
Mikel Merino joined the party by slotting home a third before the hosts pulled one back through Noa Lang.
However, Martin Odegaard bagged a brilliant brace with Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori also earning their names on the scoresheet to deliver Arsenal a huge victory in Europe.
They are now almost guaranteed of progression to the Champions League quarter-finals, which is very positive for their fans following their failures in the Premier League.
On the other hand, PSV returned to winning ways at the weekend as they outclassed Heerenveen 2-1 at the Philips Stadion, thanks to goals from Ismael Saibari and Guus Til.
The result leaves them second in the Eredivisie standings, with eight points behind leaders Ajax.
Team News
Arsenal will be missing Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus as they are still recovering from their fitness issues. Gabriel Martinelli was part of the Gunners’ bench in Sunday’s draw with United, but since he is one booking away from a European ban, the Brazilian is unlikely to start.
As for PSV, there were no fresh injuries to worry about for Peter Bosz following their triumph over Heerenveen. However, they will not be able to call upon the services of Malik Tillman, Ricardo Pepi and Esmir Bajraktarevic due to fitness issues.

Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven prediction
Mikel Arteta is expected to make changes to the side that ran out 7-1 winners in Eindhoven, and so the entertainment value should diminish on Wednesday.
PSV could also produce a better display than last time, and so a narrow victory for the hosts is likely.
Arsenal 1-0 PSV Eindhoven
