Head to Head
Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk will meet for the fifth time on Tuesday. All four previous encounters were won by the team with home advantage.
The Gunners eased to a 5-1 win when they last hosted Shakhtar in 2010.
Arsenal Form
Arsenal's four-game winning streak came to a surprise halt on Saturday with a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth, marking their first loss of the Premier League season.
Unbeaten in nine previous fixtures, Mikel Arteta's men won seven and drew twice before their shock loss on the south coast.
The Gunners have made a positive start to their Champions League campaign, picking up a goalless draw at Atalanta before a 2-0 win against PSG earlier this month.
Arsenal Team News
Head coach Arteta has several injury concerns ahead of Tuesday's Champions League contest. Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are definite absentees, while Bukayo Saka faces a late fitness test after missing the defeat at Bournemouth.
Shakhtar Donetsk Form
Shakhtar arrive in England after picking up back-to-back domestic victories over the past fortnight. Following a handsome 5-1 win against LNZ Cherkasy, Marino Pusic's side claimed a hard-fought 1-0 success at Kolos Kovalivka last Friday.
The Ukrainian champions are still searching for their first goal in this season's expanded Champions League. After a goalless draw against Bologna, Pusic's men suffered a 3-0 defeat against Atalanta at the VELTINS-Arena.
Away from home, the Hirnyky often struggle in this competition. Shakhtar lost six of their last ten UCL road fixtures since 2021.
Shakhtar Donetsk Team News
Shakhtar boss Pusc has the luxury of a fully-fit squad ahead of the trip to London. Talented playmaker Georgiy Sudakov is a certain starter for the visitors.
Verdict
Arsenal can claim a high-scoring victory in Tuesday's Champions League contest.
I'm backing a home win with a minimum of three goals scored.
