Chelsea are being forced to watch the rest of the Champions League from home, however one player on their books has the chance to inflict a similar pain to Arsenal.
The Blues were unceremoniously dumped out of the competition by PSG 8-2 on aggregate, with a poor individual performance from Filip Jorgensen in the first leg putting them on the back foot.
Liam Rosenior will now have to focus on qualifying via the Premier League. There is a unique scenario where six English sides could reach the Champions League this season.
FINAL: Who do YOU think should be Chelsea manager next season?
Geovany Quenda set to be fit for Champions League clash vs Arsenal
London rivals Arsenal are one of the two English clubs still in the competition, and they will be taking on Sporting, with Geovany Quenda on their side.
The winger has spent the last few months at Stamford Bridge as he underwent rehab for an injury, however he has now returned to Portugal and will be fit for this tie.

Chelsea fans do not need to be reminded how well Arsenal are doing this season, and they still have a great chance at securing the treble despite their EFL Cup final defeat.
Them being eliminated would be celebrated by Blues supporters, and Quenda has the capabilities to make himself very popular before he even arrives at Stamford Bridge.
The youngster has 13 goal contributions this season despite his injury woes, and the competition he has found the most joy in is the Champions League.
He has two goals and two assists in five appearances this season, and will certainly be bringing a boost to a Sporting side who are going into the tie as underdogs.
They have already done the unthinkable in coming back from a three goal deficit to reach this stage, and if Quenda can have an impact against Arsenal he will become very popular even before he makes his Chelsea debut.
