Arsenal-Shakhtar Donetsk is a match valid for the third day of the Champions League and is played on Tuesday at 9 p.m.: live TV, likely lineups, prediction.
The Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk comes just days after the first defeat of the season for Arsenal, which fell to a surprise defeat at home to Bournemouth (2-0) last Saturday and lost ground to direct title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City, both of whom were victorious.
Decisive was the expulsion of defender Saliba on the stroke of half an hour.With a man down, the Gunners held out until midway through the second half, only to surrender to the Rossoneri, who struck first through Christie and later through former Roma player Kluivert. The Londoners thus go in search of immediate redemption in the Champions League, where they are still unbeaten and have not conceded a single goal.
On their debut they managed to get away at the Gewiss Stadium against an Atalanta side (0-0) that would have deserved the victory on points; on the second day, on the other hand, a clear and convincing success had come against PSG, beaten 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta, coach of the Gunners, is aiming for a third clean sheet in a row in the match with Shakhtar Donetsk, which cannot strike fear into this Arsenal side, especially at the Emirates Stadium, a stadium where Saka and co. have not lost since April. The Ukrainians have so far met only Italian teams: if in Bologna things had gone all right (0-0), against Atalanta there was no history (0-3). Only one point for Marino Pusic’s orangemen, among other things still without a goal in the competition. In the Ukrainian league, on the contrary, Shakhtar is regaining momentum: after the knockout with Dea, two victories have come.
