Arsenal XI vs Club Brugge – Predicted lineup and team news
Arsenal travel to Belgium on Wednesday looking to maintain their impeccable Champions League record.
Mikel Arteta’s side have won all five of their group matches so far. However, they arrive after a disappointing domestic defeat to Aston Villa. The Gunners will therefore be eager to bounce back immediately and secure their place in the round of 16.

The visitors have the best defensive record in the competition this season. They faced fewer shots on target than any other team. Despite a growing injury list, Arteta will expect his rotating squad to have too much quality for a Club Brugge side currently in turmoil. Gabriel Martinelli will be a key figure as he targets a personal best goalscoring record.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta is dealing with a defensive crisis. Gabriel Magalhães and Cristhian Mosquera are absent, while William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori are major doubts. Therefore, teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to start at left-back.
In midfield, rotation is likely, with Ethan Nwaneri and Christian Nørgaard pushing for starts. Up front, Viktor Gyökeres should lead the line, flanked by Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Martinelli has scored in his last four European matches and will look to make it five in a row.
