Gunners Poised To Take Over Champions League Group

Despite suffering a shock defeat to Hull City at home on Saturday, Arsene Wenger's young Gunners look set to go top of their group in the Champions League after Tuesday's round of matches. Arsenal will be up against Porto, the current Portuguese champions, and although they trail the Portuguese by two points after the first round, home advantage at the Emirates Stadium will be key to their hopes. And the blip against Hull City should be regarded as such - just a blip. Arsenal have usually flourished in the Champions League group stages, and Tuesday should be no different.

The good news is that there does not seem to be fresh injury doubts for Tuesday's clas against Porto. If everyone stays healthy, Wenger should be able to field a rather strong team, with the likes of Theo Walcott, Van Persie and Fabregas ready to lead the line once again. We will keep up with the latest news prior to matchday, and determine if the Gunners can indeed win the game and continue to do well in the Champions League.
