The Gunners have a commanding six-goal lead coming into the second leg.

Arsenal are ready to host PSV in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16. Mikel Arteta’s men dominated the Dutch side even when they were away from home. The Gunners came up with attacking football from the start. They scored three goals in the first half and in the second half they struck four goals.

Arsenal will be at home and will be more than confident as they have a six-goal advantage in their hands. Mikel Arteta’s men might go on to score some more goals as they are likely to come up with some attacking football. The Gunners were held to a draw in their Premier League game against Manchester United. Declan Rice’s goal helped them secure a point in the table.

PSV Eindhoven will be under pressure as they conceded seven goals in the first leg. They will be away from home this time around, which will surely make things more difficult for them. At this point, the chance of PSV making a comeback is not very possible. But it can only happen if they will make sure to use Arsenal’s mistakes to their advantage.

  • Stadium: Emirates Stadium

Players to Watch

Mikel Merino (Arsenal)

The Spanish midfielder who is playing as a striker in the absence of Kai Havertz, scored one of the goals in the first leg and helped Arsenal secure a dominating win. It was Mikel Merino’s first UCL goal of the season. The player will be bent on adding a goal or two to his tally here. He has been a good option but still needs to work it up a bit to drop a good performance.

Ismael Saibari (PSV)

Ismael Saibari might emerge as a game-changer for the Dutch side PSV. Although it is highly unlikely for the visitors to make a comeback, the Moroccan midfielder will be looking to step up for his side and get some goals. Saibari will be controlling the midfield areas well and might be one of the major contributors to the attacking front for his side.
