With their first League Challenge Fade challenge, it is the Champions League or the Bust for Arsenal this season in terms of silverware.
The Gunners have what, on the surface, seems to be favorable equality for the last-16 when they are faced with champions in title Eredivisie PSV Eindhoven.
But the PSV has a fascinating young team who sent Juventus to the round of the playoffs, which means that Arsenal can rest badly on their laurels through equality on two legs.
The first task for the Mikel Arteta team is to negotiate the visit to Philips Stadion, and 101GeReatGoals.com has covered you for the programs, the team news and the confirmed departure teams.
PSV Eindhoven Lineup vs arsenal
The PSV goes with the same four fronts which tormented Juventus in their 3-1 victory on the second floor of the round of the playoffs, with Luuk de Jong playing in front of the trio of Ivan Perisic, Nathaniel Lang and Ismael Saibari.
Their changes compared to this game are back and midfielder. Tyrell Malacia plays on the left back with Mauro Junior left aside.
In the midfield, Guus Til arrives for Joey Veerman, who must be satisfied with a place on the bench.
PSV Eindhoven starter XI: Benitez, Ledezma, Flamingo, Boscagli, Malacia, Saibari, Schouten, Til, Perisic, De Jong, Lang
Sub: DROMMEL, Schiks, Karsdorp, Obispo, Bakayoko, Driouch, Veerman, Babadi, Land, Nagalo

Arsenal Linep vs PSV Eindhoven
The left back Myles Lewis-Skelly is back in the Arsenal team after having served its inner suspension, which saw it miss the draw last week at Nottingham Forest.

The lack of options before Arsenal means that Mikel Merino continues in advance, with Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard on each side of the Spanish international.
Arsenal Start XI: Raya, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Gabriel, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Trossard, Merino.
Sub: Neto, Setford, White, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Tierney, Calafiori, Jorginho, Sterling, Butler-Yedeji, Kabia
