Arsenal ran out 7-1 winners in the first leg of this tie, making this second leg a little redundant in deciding who will progress through to the quarter finals. This lack of jeopardy should free up the Gunners who have been more impressive in front of goal in the Champions League than they have in the Premier League.

Arsenal have won all four of their games at home in the Champions League this season, coming inside this goal range in three of them with the exception coming against Shakhtar in which they missed a penalty to take a 2-0 lead against the Ukrainian side. Arsenal’s impressive record at home in the Champions League sets them up well to come inside this goal range again with PSV likely to have already switched their attention back to the Eredivisie following the first leg performance.

The Gunners will be urged on by the fact that PSV are without a clean sheet in any of their last five games across all competitions which perhaps explains the Dutch sides’ collapse in the first leg in which Arsenal all too easily cut their way through Peter Bosz’s side. Arsenal should be able to put a few more goals past this PSV side but aren’t likely to produce another rout with a clash with Chelsea to come at the weekend so Arteta could use this occasion to experiment or give some chances to younger players.

Aston Villa hold a commanding 3-1 lead against Club Brugge heading into the second leg of this Champions League tie. It’s a scoreline that will force Club Brugge out of their usual compact shape with the Belgian side looking to be plucky in their performances on the road but they will have to abandon that here if they want to have any chance of reaching the quarter finals.

Villa Park always generates a great atmosphere on Champions League nights which has seen Unai Emery’s side win three and draw one of their four games at home in the Champions League this season. This has included notable victories over the likes of Bayern Munich and Celtic, showing that Villa can compete at this level in Europe.

Club Brugge have had an excellent campaign but a trip to Villa Park should spell an end to their Champions League run with Unai Emery’s side having lost just one of their games at home across all competitions this season. Villa have won each of their last three games across all competitions which will fill the home side with confidence to get the job done, they’ve scored seven goals and conceded just two at home in the Champions League this season.

Jan Oblak is one of the best goalkeepers in LaLiga and will have to be on top form as he was in the first leg to keep Atletico Madrid in this tie. Oblak was forced into making five saves at the Bernabeu and once again faces up against the best attack in Europe who can be relentless in their efforts to find the back of the net.

The likes of Mbappe (2.66 shots on target per 90), Vinicius Jr (1.10 shots on target per 90) and Rodrygo (1.37 shots on target per 90) can all test Oblak with Real Madrid set to have more space on the break to exploit given that Atletico Madrid need a goal to get back into this tie. Diego Simeone won’t instruct his side to throw everything at it straight away given his pragmatic approach but at some point the game will turn into a chase for Atletico, offering space to Real Madrid’s dangerous attacking trio.

Real Madrid have drawn 4+ saves from the opposition goalkeeper in seven of their 11 games in the Champions League this season, emphasising the attacking quality that Carlo Ancelotti has at his disposal. Oblak has the ability to keep Real Madrid’s stars at bay as he did in the first leg and keep the scoreline down to ensure that his side have an opportunity to get back into the tie. The Atletico Madrid keeper is averaging 3.22 saves per game in the Champions League this season, an average that is set to rise up against the attacking talent that Real Madrid have.
