Arsenal vs Shakhtar match preview
Mikel Arteta’s side comes into this clash after a disappointing 2-0 loss against Bournemouth in the Premier League, where William Saliba’s red card and goals from Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert led to their downfall.
However, the Gunners are still in a favorable position in the Champions League, having followed up their goalless draw with Atalanta with a 2-0 win over Shakhtar. Arsenal’s European form remains strong, especially at the Emirates, where they haven’t lost a non-knockout game in the competition since 2015.
Shakhtar Donetsk have had a mixed start to their Champions League campaign. A heavy 3-0 loss to Atalanta followed a goalless draw against Bologna, leaving them without a goal in this season’s competition.
Domestically, they’ve bounced back with wins over LNZ Cherkasy and Kolos Kovalivka, but inconsistency has plagued their season. Historically, Shakhtar have struggled in previous visits to the Emirates, suffering heavy defeats in both 2000 and 2010.
