Arsenal will be looking to reach successive UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time in history when they face Sporting CP in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, April 7, in Portugal. The Gunners head into this clash unbeaten in all 10 of their European matches this season and have suffered just one defeat in their last 10 away games. However, they face a tough challenge, as Sporting are unbeaten in 17 matches at home, including five in the Champions League this season.
Ahead of the match, Mikel Arteta said, “This is the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it doesn’t get much better than that. We’ve worked so hard throughout the season to be in this position. We know the opponent, their record, and what they’ve done. We are hungrier than ever, very excited and very motivated.”

Sporting vs Arsenal Team News:
Arsenal will be boosted by the likely return of Gabriel, who came off against Southampton but has since returned to training and travelled with the squad. Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice are also back after missing the FA Cup quarter-final. However, Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber will miss the match as they are not yet fit and join the list of Ebere Eze, Piero Hincapie, and Mikel Merino.
Sporting CP will be without captain Morten Hjulmand due to suspension, while Ivan Fresneda missed the previous match through illness. The hosts will also be without striker Fotis Ioannidis, who has been sidelined since February with a knee injury.
