Why Arsenal Could Win
Sure, everyone remembers Gyökeres’ show against Manchester City, but let’s not forget how completely outclassed Sporting were in the first half. If City had been a bit sharper, the game would have been over then and there.
Arsenal have pretty much emptied the rehab room now. Against Nottingham, The Gunners put in arguably their best performance of the entire fall. Ødegaard and Saka were phenomenal, and it didn’t hurt that Arteta took the opportunity to rotate a bit. We expect Martinelli, Havertz, Partey, and Rice to start this time around. With them in the lineup, Arsenal are a formidable force, and they’ll be looking to prove a point after their disappointing performance against Inter.
Saliba and Gabriel have the pace and strength to handle the Swedish goal machine, and with their successful coach gone, we don’t think Sporting will be able to withstand Arsenal’s pressure for 90 minutes.
Why Sporting CP Could Draw/Win
Sporting are enjoying a bit of a purple patch at the moment. They’ve gone nine games unbeaten and look full of confidence, but it’s a bit of a blow to lose your coach halfway through the season, especially when he promised to stay. It’s like losing your best friend and your favorite ice cream flavor all at once.
Our Prediction
Arsenal will fancy their chances if they can maintain their intensity throughout the match. If they can replicate Manchester City’s first-half performance, Sporting will have their work cut out for them.
