Champions League Showdown in LisbonThe UEFA Champions League brings Arsenal to the Portuguese capital as they face a tough challenge against Sporting Lisbon. Both teams

With their creative talisman Martin Odegaard back from injury and pulling the strings, Arsenal look to boost their UEFA Champions League hopes as they visit in-form Sporting CP on Tuesday.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal travel to Lisbon with a point to prove. While their domestic form remains strong, their last Champions League outing saw them narrowly beaten 1-0 by Inter Milan. That result puts extra emphasis on their performance against Sporting, especially as they aim to solidify their position in the league phase of the tournament.

A return to winning ways in the Premier League means Arsenal head to a tough Champions League away day against Sporting CP in a brighter mood. The Gunners didn't give Nottingham Forest an inch in their 3-0 triumph on Saturday as Martin Odegaard dazzled on his second start since returning from an ankle injury.

Two matches remain in the month, and the next one continues the trend of tough away ties that have punctuated the November calendar. Arsenal get a break from London’s frigid temperatures as they head west to the more temperate climate of Portugal to take on a red hot Sporting CP for the Gunners’ 5th match of the champions league campaign.
