PSV v Arsenal
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 4th March at 20:00
🏆
Competition: Champions League
📺
What TV Channel: Amazon Prime Video
Arsenal travel to Eindhoven for the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie against PSV. The Gunners have endured a slow death in the Premier League title race with Liverpool 13 points clear at the summit of English football, making this competition crucial to Mikel Arteta’s side if they want to end the campaign with any silverware – having already been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions.
PSV will be optimistic of taking a decent result to the Emirates having seen off Juventus over 2 legs in their last 32 round clash against the Old Lady. Peter Bosz’s side have turned the Philips Stadion into a tough ground for any visiting side with the Dutch side unbeaten domestically and in the Champions League at home this campaign.
⭐ PSV v Arsenal Best Bet
The mood in the Arsenal camp will be low after failing to win either of their last 2 games against West Ham and Nottingham Forest, these results have all but confirmed that the league title will be heading to Anfield this season with the Gunners having 13 points to make up and lacking in key personnel.
PSV have not lost a game at home this season in the Eredivisie and in the Champions League. Peter Bosz’s side will be confident in limiting the number of opportunities Arsenal can get with the injuries they have to key attacking players, notably in Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz. This lack of firepower is showing in recent games, Arsenal have only scored 2 goals since beating Manchester City 5-1 with both of these goals coming against relegation-threatened Leicester.
PSV have struggled slightly themselves in recent weeks, coming into this game following back-to-back losses in the cup and league, but Arsenal haven’t shown enough in recent matches to suggest that they can be the first side to beat PSV on home territory in the Champions League this season with the Dutch side already seeing off Juventus and Liverpool at the Philips Stadion this campaign.

The first leg of these knockout ties is usually quite tight.
Neither side want to be out of it come the second leg resulting in competitive games, this selection should also benefit from Arsenal’s solid defensive record in the Champions League this season, they’ve only conceded 3 goals in the competition which highlights 1 of their real strengths this campaign, keeping the opposition out.
This selection has landed in each of Arsenal’s last 4 games across all competitions.
Arsenal are struggling to create chances from open play, Mikel Arteta’s side have only scored 2 goals across their last 4 games in all competitions with both of these goals coming against a relegation-threatened Leicester side. This means that Arsenal have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 games, but their corner count usually stays quite high. The Gunners are averaging 6.4 corners per game in the Champions League this season.
PSV have been shown 22 yellow cards across their 10 games in the Champions League this season (2.2 per game). Peter Bosz’s side have seen 2+ cards in 6 of their 10 games in the competition this campaign.
PSV are unbeaten at the Philips Stadion in the Eredivisie and in the Champions League this season. Arsenal’s recent struggles when it comes to putting the ball in the back of the net will make it difficult for the Gunners to be the first side to overcome PSV on home territory this campaign.
👕 PSV v Arsenal Predicted XI
🔍 PSV v Arsenal Players to Watch
🔴 Ismael Saibari
Saibari has been excellent for PSV this season, the attacking midfielder has registered 16 goal contributions across his 20 appearances in the Eredivisie this campaign, as well as 4 goal contributions across his 9 Champions League appearances this season. Saibari’s shot volume is consistently high in both competitions with the 24-year-old managing 25 shots (3.49 per 90) and 11 shots on target (1.53 per 90) in the Champions League this season. Saibari scored and had 3 shots on target in PSV’s win over Juventus in the last stage of the competition.
⚫ Jurrien Timber
Timber’s strength and ability to keep the ball in tight areas sees him win fouls quite regularly. The right back has won 7 fouls across his 7 Champions League appearances this season (1.50 per 90). His record in the Premier League is still quite promising with the 23-year-old averaging 1.07 fouls won per 90 across his 24 Premier League appearances this campaign, suggesting that he is able to win fouls consistently over a larger sample size. Timber was brought down once in Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest last time out. Timber has been fouled in 4/4 CL appearances this season where he’s played more than 45 minutes.
