Arsenal travel to Lisbon as Mikel Arteta's team turn their attention to the Europa League.

The Gunners progressed to the last 16 of the competition by topping Group A and have been paired with Sporting CP, who dropped out of the Champions League before trouncing FC Midtjylland in the Europa League play-offs.

The tricky tie represents a brief respite from the pressure of the Premier League title race for Arsenal, who are chasing their first ever major trophy on the continent.

Leandro Trossard is doubtful to make the trip to Portugal for the first leg after suffering a groin injury in last Saturday's dramatic victory over Bournemouth, Eddie Nketiah is likely to miss out once again due to a knock, while Gabriel Jesus remains absent.

Sporting head into the clash in fine form having won their last four league matches, with the most recent being a 1-0 victory over Portimonense at the weekend.
