Arsenal aims to rebound from their latest Premier League loss as they prepare to welcome Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday for their UEFA Champions League matchup.
The Gunners suffered a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Bournemouth, ending their unbeaten streak in the Premier League. In the Champions League, they’ve accumulated four points from two games so far, highlighted by a commendable 2-0 victory against PSG.
Conversely, Shakhtar Donetsk is still seeking their first goal in this season’s Champions League. They opened their campaign with a scoreless draw against Bologna and then faced a 0-3 defeat against Atalanta. Although they recently claimed two wins in their domestic league, playing against Arsenal at the Emirates poses a major challenge for the Ukrainian team.
