It's Champions League at the menu today, we look to London where Arsenal takes on an impressing Barcelona side. Arsenal has only beat Barcelona 1 time on 7 Champions League matches.
The home side is on a 3rd place in Premier League behind leading Leicester and local rivals Tottenham, behind are Manchester City chasing. On Emirates the stats shows 8-3-2 this season, are the second best home side in the league. In the Champions League group stage both Dinamo Zagreb and Bayern München was beaten at home, but Arsenal lost surprisingly to greek Olympiakos 2-3.
This match is going to be an exciting duel between two teams who enjoy ball possession and are great in counter attacks, but we believe Arsenal may be distracted by fighting on several fronts this season (Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup). Even as Arsenal has made a good league season so far, they have a lack of winning tight matches and a bit of instability over time. On they're last 17 matches in all competitions the draws against Norwich, Stoke, Liverpool and Southampton shows this problem. In the last match Wenger's boys were disappointed with a scoreless draw in the FA Cup against Championship side Hull, wich means another replay in a tight schedule.
Gabriel (defender), Tomas Rosicky (midfield), Mikel Arteta (midfield), Jack Wilshere (midfield) and Santi Cazorla (midfield) are out injured for the hosts.
Expected lineup Arsenal:
Cech
Bellerin – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Monreal
Coquelin – Ramsey
Walcott – Özil – Sanchez
Giroud
The guests are continuing to impress. Are league leaders 8 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, ready for the Cop del Rey final against Sevilla, and still in the Champions League. The FIFA Club World Cup trophy is already won, after a 0-3 win against Argentinian side River Plate in the final. It looks like this Barcelona team never get stressed, and they are winning matches in a impressively controlled way. The attacking trio MSN with Messi, Suarez and Neymar terrorizing all opponents, they have scored 58 league goals in total this season. The away side has a 8-2-2 away stats in the league, but are most impressing on home soil at Camp Nou. The row without losses for Luis Enrique and his Barcelona side is also amazing, last defeat came away to Sevilla 3rd October last year. After this defeat they've played 32 matches, it's ended up with 26 wins and 6 draws.
Won their Champions League group ahead of Roma and Bayer Leverkusen with a total stat of gret 4-2-0. Luis Suarez is the most impressing offensive player this season, he's been absolutely magnificent. Has scored 25 league goals this season and is the top scorer in la Liga 3 goals ahead of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. Only unavailable players for Barcelona are Rafinha (midfield) and suspended Arda Turan (midfield).
Expected lineup Barcelona:
ter Stegen
Alves – Pique – Mascherano – Alba
Rakitic – Busquets – Iniesta
Messi – Suarez – Neymar
This may be an even game, but we're pretty sure Barcelona will take home a win. Arsenal could get some tempo problems between their centre backs and defensive midfielders in Barcelona counters, especially if Coquelin doesn't do his job. We'll combine a Barcelona win with a Luis Suarez goal today, he will keep on performing goal vice, and he'll get a lot of opportunities with Lionel Messi at his back. Suarez also got the experience against Premier League opponents, and got power and smartness in his play.
