This will be the second time these teams are going to square off in the knockout stages of the UCL.

PSV Eindhoven are all set to host Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 first-leg. The hosts went on to win half of their eight league phase matches in the UCL, which sent them into the playoff stage. They took down Juventus to get to the round of 16. The Gunners finished in third place, booking their spot directly for the last 16 stage.

PSV Eindhoven are not in the best of forms. They will need to do a lot more if they want to stand a chance against the Gunners. PSV will be at home, which will be one of the advantages for them. They have been knocked out of the KNVB Cup and are in the second spot in their domestic league table.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will be away from home. They have not seen a positive result in their last couple of fixtures. First, they lost their Premier League match against West Ham and then they were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest. The Gunners will surely be indulged in a tight battle in their match against PSV.

Kick-off:

  • Location: Eindhoven, Netherlands
  • Stadium: Philips Stadion
  • Date: Wednesday, March 5
  • Kick-off Time: 01:30 IST / Tuesday, March 4: 20:00 GMT/ 15:00 ET/ 12:00 PT
  • Referee: Jesus Gil
  • VAR: In use

Form:

PSV: L-D-W-L-L

Arsenal: W-L-W-L-D

Players to Watch

Ryan Flamingo (PSV)

The Dutch defender will play a crucial role. Ryan Flamingo will be looking to stop the Arsenal attack by leading the defence. He is also PSV’s top goal scorer in the Champions League this season.

Mikel Merino (Arsenal)

Mikel Merino will be leading Arsenal as some of their main players are out of action because of the injuries. The Spaniard is very much capable of scoring goals even though he plays as a central or defensive midfielder in the games. The 28-year-old will surely be a difference-maker for the Gunners.

Match Facts

  • Arsenal are undefeated in their five home matches in European competitions against PSV.
  • They have emerged victorious in each of their last four UCL matches.
  • The Gunners have only lost one of their last 14 games against Dutch sides in the UEFA Champions League.
