Arsenal will be out to overturn their one-goal deficit against Porto in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash coming up on Tuesday.
The match will be broadcast live on GOtv.
Galeno’s late strike gave Porto a 1-0 victory over the Gunners in the first leg, giving the Portuguese side a needed advantage ahead of Tuesday’s crunch clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side can replicate their league form in Europe. They are currently on an eight-game winning streak and sit top of the Premier League table.
The Spaniard urged the club supporters to cheer the team to victory in the Champions League.
“Bring your noise, bring your energy, your passion into that stadium and something beautiful is going to happen,” Mikel said on Saturday after Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Brentford.
Arsenal have won only one of their last nine matches in the Champions League round of 16, failing to secure a two-goal victory could mean they will be eliminated at this stage for the eighth time in a row. They last made a quarter-final appearance in the 2009/10 season when they faced Barcelona.
The two sides have met on seven occasions, both winning three games part and they have drawn once. Tuesday’s clash will determine which of them will go ahead in the head-to-head stats.
