Arsenal takes on Shakhtar Donetsk in Champions League action at the Emirates Stadium, looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League. The Gunners aim to put that setback behind them and move closer to the automatic qualifying spots in the Champions League table. Currently sitting 13th with one win and one draw from their two matches so far, Arsenal is aiming to secure a spot in the last-16 without having to go through a play-off match.
In contrast, Shakhtar Donetsk is still searching for their first win in the revamped league phase, having only managed to secure one point from their first two matches. Despite Arsenal being favourites to secure all three points, the unpredictable nature of the Champions League means anything could happen. The top eight teams in the table will secure a place in the last-16, and Arsenal will be looking to climb the rankings.
The match will kick off at 8 pm BST at the Emirates Stadium. UK viewers can catch the action live on Amazon Prime Video, with coverage starting from 6.30 pm BST. Fans using a VPN to stream the match should ensure they comply with local regulations and service provider terms.
