An Arsenal team showing signs of running out of steam will look to regain momentum on Wednesday when it hosts Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of this delicately poised UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.
Recent defeats in the FA Cup quarterfinals and the Carabao Cup final mean the Gunners' bid for an unprecedented quadruple is already over. A damaging loss to Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Saturday has raised serious concerns about whether Mikel Arteta's team could end the season empty-handed.
Last week's first leg in Lisbon saw the Gunners claim a smash-and-grab 1-0 victory, courtesy of a strike from substitute Kai Havertz. The Londoners, however, left Estádio José Alvalade with David Raya to thank for the victory, with the goalkeeper making a string of key saves to ensure the win.
If the Portuguese side puts on a similar show of its own today, the home crowd at the London stadium could feel nervous jitters.
Arsenal takes on Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Wednesday, April 15. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK, making it a 9 p.m. CEST kickoff in Europe, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Thursday morning.
