Arsenal vs. Sporting CP preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
Watch the Champions League on DAZN - US, CA & NZ
The Champions League's only unbeaten side looks to book their place in the competition's final four when Arsenal hosts Sporting in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
The Gunners dug deep and inflicted a rare home defeat on the Portuguese side last week, with Kai Havertz's late winner the difference between the two teams heading into round two.
Since then, Mikel Arteta's men have suffered a damaging Premier League defeat to Bournemouth, which has again opened up questions about their mentality as they look to land the big prizes this season.
They'll still be favourites to progress, given they have a goal lead and home advantage, but Sporting will know it's a team on the edge and could exploit that if given the opportunity.
DAZN News has all the information ahead of Arsenal vs. Sporting CP.

Sporting vs. Arsenal - the key men
Declan Rice - Arsenal
There'll be plenty of onus on Viktor Gyokeres to deliver against his old club, but this game may need control and the man who's been doing that all season is Declan Rice.
If Rice plays well, Arsenal usually come out on top, and they'll need his composure in the middle as well as the drive to move forward to get over the line.
In a game that could be down to fine margins, Rice is the safe and intelligent voice that may be needed to avoid another damaging defeat.

Luis Suarez - Sporting
With 33 goals in 44 games for the Portuguese side this season, Suarez will be the man Sporting hope can help them turn the tie around.
The Colombian has already netted five times in the Champions League this season and is one of Europe's hottest forwards.
Given the chance, he is more than capable of making this clash very interesting and having it swing in the visitors' favour.
Arsenal vs Sporting prediction
The Gunners are in a fragile state after their defeat at the weekend, so the only thing that matters on Wednesday evening is a win. It will be a narrow one, but the Premier League should get the job done at home.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Sporting
