Arsenal have the chance to book their spot in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday night as they take on Sporting CP.
A thrilling first-leg tie in Portugal last week saw Arsenal held to a 2-2 draw against Sporting, with the Gunners relying on an own goal to head back to north London with the tie in the balance. But, Mikel Arteta's side has only lost twice at home in all competitions this season, a factor which could come into play.
Spirits remain high amongst the Arsenal camp as they head into the clash following a 3-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League, leaving the Gunners top of the Premier League table. And, Gabriel Jesus made his long-awaited return to the Arsenal squad after a lengthy lay-off through injury, a major boost for Arteta ahead of the Sporting clash.
